Shining Star Tree Farm
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Eatonville, Washington · Pierce County
A farm and event venue in Eatonville, formerly Cox Christmas Tree Farm, that opens its fields for a short u-cut season after Thanksgiving and runs a holiday shop through November.
Saws and twine are available at the farm, and shaking and baling are free, so you can cut, clean up and wrap your tree in one stop. The u-cut season is short, only about ten days, and trees taller than 8 feet are limited, so come early if you need a big one.
Kids get free candy canes and cocoa, and sweet treats are sold. The All Things Noël store opens before the tree season with ornaments and gifts. Pets are not allowed, and professional photo sessions are not permitted during u-cut days.
