Patchen Old Town Christmas Tree Farm

Sean Daily

Better for agri-tainment (music, gift shop, wood burning fire, wreaths) than tall trees. But Patchen has a surprisingly large variety of trees, more than just Douglas Fir. So if you're looking for something unique, you'll be pleased. But if you're expecting a large farm with acres of trees, there are better options.

Disaster. Guy working there putting the netting on trees without a Covid mask. The thing is going through the roof in our county and our whole state. That sort of carelessness is why. The kids working there all had one, but the more seasoned fellow apparently felt it was too big an imposition. You can't reach everyone with facts and data, but you can make a choice to avoid the dumb ones.

Wanting to make a new memory for Covid-19 Holidays 2020? A good start is Patchen Old Town. It's gorgous there, with picnic tables & an old fashioned barn with a gift shop, hot cider & wine tasting, all free. Trees are $75 & up, but you get to choose & cut your own, and they'll net the tree & help you tie it in to your car roof. We got a 5ft tree that fit into our backseat. A beautiful drive up to the Santa Cruz Mtns is an added extra. Keep going on Old Santa Cruz Hwy to the Soquel-San Jose Highway and make a day of it by stopping at the beach.

Quaint mountainside tree farm with lots of choices.
