An East Bay farm offering both a true cut-your-own field and separately trucked-in premium firs, with a wide species list but no published hours, phone number, or price for either option.
Alhambra Valley stands out in this research batch for the sheer range of tree species on offer: nine distinct types spanning Noble fir, Nordmann fir, Douglas fir, Grand fir, Corkbark fir, Silvertip (red fir), Monterey pine, Sierra redwood, and Incense cedar. That’s a notably wide selection for a single farm, but the record is clear that it comes from two different sources on the same property — a genuine choose-and-cut field growing pine, redwood, and cedar, and a separately trucked-in lineup of premium fresh-cut fir species. If you have your heart set on a specific fir, it’s worth confirming with the farm which category it falls under before you assume you’ll be the one cutting it down.
Beyond the tree selection itself, the record mentions complimentary popcorn and apple cider, photo opportunities with a vintage Farmall tractor, and staff assistance with tree shaking and loading — small but real touches that suggest a farm accustomed to a steady stream of visitors even without a full activity roster like hayrides or a petting zoo. The farm also sells wreaths, garland, honey, ornaments, and locally made Christmas tree soap, giving it more of a general holiday-shopping feel alongside the core tree business.
This record has real limits worth naming plainly. No phone number, no hours, no saw policy, and no pricing were found anywhere in the sources reviewed — an unusually thin set of practical details for a farm with this much species variety and this developed a supplemental product line. The most likely path to filling those gaps is the contact form on the farm’s own website, since no direct phone contact turned up in this research.
The farm’s site explicitly stated it was “closed for the 2025 Season” at the time it was checked — meaning that season had already wrapped, not that the farm has shut down permanently — but no 2026 opening date had been posted yet. That’s expected this early in the year and isn’t a red flag on its own, but it does mean there’s genuinely no season window to recommend right now. Anyone planning around this farm should check back closer to Thanksgiving for a posted 2026 date.
The address given is a cross-street — Reliez Valley Road and Alhambra Valley Road — rather than a specific street address, so the map coordinates used for this listing are a city-centre approximation for Martinez, not a precise pin. Plan to use the cross-street description itself, or the farm’s own directions once you make contact, rather than relying on a mapped address to get you there exactly.
Alhambra Valley offers one of the widest tree-species selections in this whole research batch and a genuine choose-and-cut field alongside premium trucked-in firs, but with no phone number, hours, or pricing published anywhere found, this is a farm to research further via its website before committing to a drive.
The farm's site stated it was closed for the 2025 season (meaning that season had ended) with no 2026 dates posted at the time of this research, so there's no window to recommend yet — check back closer to the season.

Skip this farm for now if you need confirmed hours, a phone number, or a price before you can plan a trip, since none of those were found in the sources reviewed, and skip it if you specifically want a fir species without asking first, since the fir selection is trucked in separately from the true cut-your-own field.
No specific nearby-farm comparison is available in this record.
Not published. No price_from or price_note figure was found for either the cut-your-own field or the trucked-in fir option, so there's no honest number to give here.
Both. The record describes a genuine choose-and-cut field (pine, redwood, cedar) as well as separately trucked-in premium fresh-cut firs, so ask which category a specific species falls under.

Reliez Valley Road & Alhambra Valley Road, Martinez, CA, in Contra Costa County. It is one of 9 farms we track in Bay Area CA.
We track 9 farms in Bay Area CA, 9 of which let you cut your own tree. The farm has not published a starting price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
What sets it apart locally: it has a cocoa or cider stand, free netting/baling, which most Bay Area CA farms on our list do not.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 6 of the 9 farms we track in Bay Area CA had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
