Space to Roam
The tree farm is located at 3000 feet on the crest of Cedar Ridge. Feel free to explore across the nine acres. Wide intersecting walking paths and large trees surrounding the perimeter make it easy to navigate.
Choose your own adventure:
from DIY to full-service
You deserve a great tree-cutting experience. At McBurney's you get to choose what that looks like. You can do it all yourself, or we'll be happy to assist you.
Finding the Farm
Conveniently located 3 miles outside Grass Valley, CA with easy access from Highway 174.
It may look like a residential street, but you're in the right place. The farm is located behind all the homes.
Parking
Follow the signs to the driveway entrance. Parking located in the rear and is always free.
Plan for sunset
We rely on natural sunlight in our fields. Plan enough time to enjoy the walk and find your tree before sunset, especially later in the year.
See our homepage for current sunset times.
What to Wear
Wearing sensible footwear, close-toed shoes or boots, may make it more enjoyable, (but are certainly not necessary).
Watch out for gopher holes and stumps. While we do our best to manage obstacles there are still many natural tripping hazards.
What to Bring
Everything needed to cut your tree and take it home is provided at no extra cost. All you need to do is show up. You're welcome to bring your own tie downs for your vehicle if you prefer.
Accesibility
The land on the farm is mostly flat with wide walking paths to accommodate the whole family, including strollers and wheelchairs.
Restrooms
Restrooms are available.
Plan for Weather
We are open rain or shine (or snow!). Bring your boots and umbrellas and enjoy the outdoors.
See our homepage for current weather conditions.
Once you Arrive
How It Works:
We like to keep things simple so you can focus on the fun!
Grab a pole
Come by the main entrance and grab a white measuring pole. They're cut to a standard 8' ceiling and marked every foot to help you find just the right size.
Let us know you're ready
Flag down any one of our friendly staff to bring a saw and tree cart out for you. You're welcome to cut or if you prefer we'll do it for you.
Find your tree
All trees are individually priced on a white tag. What you see is what you pay. Sales tax and netting are included. Red tagged trees are reserved.
Visit the sales shack
Find our cashiers in the sales shack. Don't forget the tree stand, wreaths, and any other tree care items you need.

Mark your tree
Once you've found "the one," lean the pole on your tree to mark your selection. Our guests are great about honoring a tree with pole on it.
Take your tree home and enjoy!
Reservations
We open the last weekend in September for reservations and typically begin cutting trees after Thanksgiving.
Many families enjoy the convenience of visiting us early to pick out their tree and return later to cut it down without worrying about finding the right one. This also ensures your tree is as fresh as possible for your holiday celebrations.
