Kavan Family Christmas Tree Farm

🎄 Christmas is getting closer at Kavan Family Christmas Tree Farm! 🎄

We're busy making the final preparations for another wonderful Christmas season, and we're excited about what we have planned for this year!

🌲 250+ Cut-Your-Own Christmas Trees! Our fields are growing, and this year we'll have more than 250 beautiful trees ready for families to choose and cut!

🌲 1,300 Fresh Pre-Cut Trees! We'll have a great selection of beautiful trees ranging from 6 to 14 feet tall, with over 400 on display to help you find that perfect Christmas tree.

❤️ Giving Back to Our Local Schools! One of the most rewarding parts of operating our family farm is the opportunity to give back to our community. This year, we're committing at least 6.5% of our sales to five local elementary school PTAs: Blue Heron, Centerville, Lino Lakes, Rice Lake, and Turtle Lake.

Our goal is to donate more than $12,000 to our local schools this Christmas season! Every tree, wreath, and porch pot purchased helps us get closer to that goal.

We're looking forward to welcoming families back to the farm for another season of Christmas traditions, fresh trees, hot chocolate, campfires, and holiday memories. 🎄

📅 Opening November 20th!

Thank you for supporting our family farm and helping us give back to the schools and community that mean so much to us.

🎅 We can't wait to see you at the farm!

🎄 Fewer than 100 days until Christmas! 🎄

As we start getting ready for another Christmas season at Kavan Family Christmas Tree Farm, we’re looking for a little additional help with wreath and garland making this November and December.

As the farm continues to grow, we’re looking for someone to supplement our existing wreath makers and help us keep up with the growing demand for wreaths and garland.

We’re hoping to find someone with previous wreath and/or garland-making experience who would be interested in flexible, part-time seasonal work right here at the farm in Lino Lakes.

We have the wreath and garland machines, workspace, and all of the greens and materials — we’re primarily looking for someone who knows how to make beautiful, full wreaths and/or garland and would enjoy helping us during the Christmas season.

Hours can be flexible, and this could be a great fit for someone with Christmas tree farm, greenhouse, floral, or wreath-making experience who is looking for some extra seasonal work.

If you’re interested — or know someone who might be a great fit — please send us a message!

Hard to believe Christmas is already less than 100 days away! 🎄

The Kavan family will be volunteering at the Minnesota State Fair today from 10:00–1:30!

If you're at the Fair, stop by the Christmas Tree exhibit in the Agriculture Horticulture Building and say hello. There are more than 100 beautiful Minnesota-grown Christmas trees on display, along with decorated trees and wreaths, and if you look hard, you may find a few of our trees and wreaths!

It's also a surprisingly peaceful spot to escape the crowds for a few minutes, enjoy the smell of fresh Christmas trees, and recharge before heading back out to the Fair!

We'd love to see you!

It’s beautiful out here today! Perfect day to transplant some red twig dogwood.

I'm often asked by my family and friends, what do Christmas tree farmers do in the winter?

A lot of people assume we go into torpor — you know, like bears, a state of physical or mental inactivity; lethargy...

But despite popular belief… we do not hibernate.

Winter actually looks like this:

Go to “tree camp” (also known as the Minnesota Christmas Tree Association conference 🌲😆)

Order thousands of baby trees like we’re investing in the world’s slowest-maturing asset

Fix everything that December tried to break

Debate fertilizer and spacing like it’s fantasy football

Do paperwork that somehow multiplies when the snow falls

Walk snowy fields checking on trees that are quietly growing under the blanket of winter

Christmas trees take 7–10 years to grow.
So while the farm may look peaceful and still…

We’re actually working on Christmas 2036.

And maybe a little bit of torpor here,

As we wrap up our final day of the season (we're open until 5pm), we just want to say thank you to everyone who came out to experience the magic of our little Christmas tree farm and support us in this adventure.

This truly was a wonderful and magical year — from our very first customer hug (my heart grew three sizes that day 😊), to the customer-provided baked goods, the joyful emails showing off beautifully decorated trees, and the countless kind reviews and notes sharing how much you appreciated our family and staff (we agree they are wonderful!). We feel incredibly lucky for the support and encouragement you’ve shown us.

We were thrilled to have 45 families cut their own tree this year, and we are so grateful for your patience as our trees continue to mature. We can’t wait to grow with you — and we’re excited to share that we’re on track to have around 500 cut-your-own trees next year!

A huge thank you as well to my cousins for creating such beautiful, artisan wreaths — they were truly special and so appreciated. And a very special shout-out and thank you to Mark Ahlers and his Irondale High School shop class for creating what can only be described as an out-of-this-world, cedar-lined, heated porta-potty — a true crowd favorite and something we’re incredibly grateful for.

And to our amazing customers: because of you, we were able to raise over $9,500 for four amazing local elementary schools — Blue Heron, Lino Lakes, Rice Lake, and Turtle Lake. Next year, we’re excited to raise even more and to include Centerville Elementary School’s PTA as well.

From our family to yours, thank you for being part of our story this season. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back next year and continuing to grow this little farm together. ❤️🎄

We know it’s been cold out, and we want to make sure everyone still has the chance to bring home a real Christmas tree, wreath, or fresh greenery before the holidays.

We’ll be open Wednesday–Sunday, December 21, from 9am–5pm, while trees last.
We continue to have a nice selection of over 160 pre-cut trees on display with 120+ of those in the 8-10+ foot range, along with wreaths, garland, porch pots, and other fresh greenery to finish off your holiday decorating.

We are a full service family Christmas tree farm and will give the tree a fresh cut, shake it, bale it, and tie it to your vehicle while you enjoy the complementary hot chocolate, selfie stations and campfire. As always, we truly appreciate the community’s support of our little family-owned tree farm.

We hope to see you out at the farm before the trees are gone!

As we head into a chilly weekend, we’re here to help make your Christmas tree trip quick and easy so you can enjoy the time spent setting it up and decorating! 🎄❄️

We have a great selection of over 200 fresh pre-cut trees from 6–10 feet, including a large number of 8–10 foot Balsams and Frasers.

Between our free hot chocolate, cozy fire, and support of local elementary schools, we also know that cold weather calls for efficiency. One family recently grabbed their perfect tree between hockey games — in under 10 minutes!

With sub-zero temps expected tomorrow, we might be setting a new farm record. Think you can beat it?

We have received a lot of calls wondering if we are open, and yes, we are! It’s a beautiful day out at the Christmas tree farm and we should be open through at least Sunday. The fire is going, carols are playing, and hot cocoa is ready!

We have a great selection of trees with 240 on display to choose from, ranging from 6-11 ft. 

As always for this year, 6.7% of all sales go to four local elementary school PTAs (split equally among Blue Heron, Lino Lakes, Rice Lake, and Turtle Lake Elementary School PTAs ), and your support has helped raise over $8,700 (almost $2,200 per school) to support the little ones this year!

Hope to see you at the farm soon!

It’s a winter wonderland out at the Kavan Family Christmas Tree Farm!

As we head into the weekend, we have an excellent selection of over 550 fresh pre-cut trees from other local farms — including 89 nine-foot trees, 45 ten-foot trees, and a fantastic variety of 6–8 foot trees.

You’ll find Fraser, Balsam, Canaan, White Pine, and Spruce in heights from 6 to 10 feet, along with a huge assortment of wreaths, garland, porch pots, spruce tops, and fresh greenery.

As always, enjoy the festive atmosphere with free hot chocolate, a cozy fire, and the joy of knowing that 6.7% of all sales support our great local elementary schools.

We look forward to welcoming you out to the farm soon!
