Dogs at the farm: questions

Can you bring a dog to a Christmas tree farm?

At most farms that say, yes. Of the 831 farms on this site, 182 say dogs are welcome, nearly always on a leash, and 59 say no. The other 585 don’t say either way, so ring before you take one. The farms that welcome dogs are listed above by state, each with its own rule.

Why do some Christmas tree farms not allow dogs?

The reasons farms give are insurance (Hopestill Farm, Peterson Family Farm), food-safety rules on farms that also grow food (Karabin Farms), and livestock or petting-zoo animals on the farm (Athens Christmas Tree Farm, where the farm’s animals roam free). Several allow service dogs only. A few have a halfway rule: dogs in the car park or a separate area, but not among the trees (Holiday U-Cut Christmas Trees, Wildland Green Bluff Tree Farm).

Do dogs have to be on a leash at a Christmas tree farm?

Almost everywhere, yes: nearly every farm that welcomes dogs asks for a leash, and most ask you to clean up after them. Some are specific: Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tree Farm and North Fork Heritage Farm ask for a 6 ft leash, and Woods Tree Farm a 6 ft leash that isn’t retractable.

Can my dog ride the hayride or the wagon?

Usually not. Abbey Farms keeps dogs off its hay rides, Christmas Mountain Choose and Cut off the wagon and Hemphill Tree Farm off the train. Family Roots TX Christmas Tree Farm near Houston is the exception we have found: well-behaved dogs can ride. Gift shops, barns and petting zoos are off limits at most farms too.

Which states have the most dog-friendly Christmas tree farms?

On this site, Washington (23), Oregon (17) and New Jersey (15). That partly reflects how many farms we list in each state, so look at your own state’s list rather than the totals.

How these are checked

A farm is on this page only if its own website, Facebook page or email to us says what it does about dogs, and the rule shown is in the farm’s words or close to them. Rules read from last season are marked on the farm’s card. Nothing here is taken from a directory or a review site. Last checked 9 Nov 2026.
