Boat Harbour Farm is a 5 acre farm located in Cedar, BC, just south of Nanaimo. It's a short drive from Nanaimo, Ladysmith or Lantzville.

Pick your tree while it's still standing in the field! Our Christmas tree farm is a "you pick, we cut, we shake, you load" Christmas tree farm. The advantage of the tree not being cut until you choose it, is that it then gets into water within a few hours, which makes a big difference in how long it lasts.

We don't have enough trees to sell wholesale - if you're looking for wholesale trees, please see the Southwest BC Christmas Tree Association Buy and Sell Directory. We are only a retail seller of trees.

Christmas Tree Varieties

Christmas tree varieties grown:

Douglas fir
Grand fir
Noble fir
Nordmann fir
Concolor (white) fir
Colorado spruce - blue or green
Canaan fir

During the Christmas season when you arrive to pick out a tree:

You can park in our lower field - take the driveway to the left (towards our house) half-way down our main driveway. When leaving you can exit via the driveway on the water side of the house - it's not as steep! There are 2 fields of trees to choose from, so it may take you a while to choose! If it has been raining the fields may be a bit soggy, so best to wear waterproof shoes.

After you choose your tree and we cut it, we'll shake it in our Christmas tree shaker to eliminate loose needles, bird nests and anything else that might be hiding in it. Don't worry - any birds have abandoned their nests long before December!

Dogs are welcome, but please keep them on a leash.

Please be prepared to load and secure your tree in or on your vehicle.

Payments

Our Square reader can accept credit and debit cards - including chip and PIN cards, tap-and-go cards. Cash works, but we prefer credit or debit.
