Santa's Christmas Tree Forest
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Eustis, Florida · Lake County
A long-running Lake County farm with 17 acres of Florida-grown sand pine, red cedar and Arizona cypress to cut yourself, plus hayrides, a petting zoo, Santa visits and a barn shop of handmade ornaments.
Buy admission online ahead of busy days, then ride the hayride out to the field or walk in. Bow saws are on loan, and you may bring your own handsaw, but power saws are not allowed. Cut close to the ground and do not top a tree without permission.
Your tree gets a numbered tag and goes to the processing area, where staff shake it, net it and drill the base for a spike stand on request at no charge. Pay at any register with a card or cash and wait for your number. Imported northern firs and spruces are sold pre-cut if you want a classic look.
