Cash only. This farm doesn't take cards, based on what we found — bring cash or confirm ahead if that's changed.

Our take

D & M Christmas Trees, listed under a St. Ignatius address, is worth a closer look mainly for its species list, which is unusually long for a small Montana operation: Afghan pine, balsam fir, blue spruce, Douglas fir, Fraser fir, grand fir, lodgepole pine, noble fir, ponderosa pine, white fir, white pine, and white spruce. That’s a genuinely broad selection for anyone with a specific species preference, whether that’s a Fraser fir for its needle retention or something less common like Afghan pine.

What changed here, and why it matters

The most recent update found in the record states plainly that D&M has stopped offering cut-your-own or choose-and-cut trees and now sells precut trees only, at both this St. Ignatius location and a second point of sale in Kalispell, whose exact address wasn’t published anywhere checked. That’s a real operational shift from an older listing that described a broader cut-your-own and choose-and-we-cut business. Anyone who visited or heard about this farm in past years cutting their own tree should not assume that’s still on offer. If a saw and a walk through the trees is the point of your visit, this isn’t the stop, at least at this location.

The address problem

One detail in this record deserves particular attention: the exact street address given for this farm would not resolve to a specific parcel on the map, so the coordinates on file are the St. Ignatius town-center point, not the farm’s actual location. That’s a meaningfully different thing than a farm with a confirmed rural address that’s simply hard to find. It means anyone relying on a map pin from this listing could end up in the wrong part of town entirely. Call 406-824-8383 before you leave the house and get real directions, not just a street name.

Cash only, and no confirmed price

The record confirms this is a cash-only operation, with no card payment mentioned in any source checked. That’s worth planning around, especially paired with the fact that neither price_from nor price_note exists in the record at all, so this page can’t tell you what a tree costs. Bring cash in an amount you’re comfortable with, and ask the price as soon as you arrive, or better, when you call ahead for directions.

Firewood too

Beyond trees, the record notes D&M has historically sold split firewood with delivery available year-round. If you’re in the market for both a tree and a firewood supply, this is a reasonable single stop, though current pricing and availability for firewood is just as unconfirmed as it is for the trees.

The honest bottom line

D & M offers a genuinely wide species selection for a precut buyer, but between the operational change away from cut-your-own, the unconfirmed address, and the total lack of published pricing or hours, this is a call-first situation on every count, not just one.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

No 2026 season dates, days, or hours are published. Historically the farm ran a short window of Black Friday weekend plus one additional weekend, 9 am to 4 pm, but the record notes the farm has since changed how it operates, so that old schedule can't be assumed to still apply.

How long to budget

Not stated in the record. As a precut-only lot rather than a field to walk, expect a shorter visit than a cut-your-own farm.

Crowds

Not stated in the record.

Parking

Not described in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not addressed in the record.

What to bring

  • Cash, since the record confirms this farm is cash only with no card option mentioned
  • A phone call to 406-824-8383 before driving out, both to get exact directions to the lot and to confirm current inventory and hours
  • Patience with GPS, since the geocoded coordinates on file are a city-center approximation, not the farm's precise location

How to spend less here

  • No price_from or price_note exists in the record, so no dollar figure can be given here. Ask the price when you call to confirm hours and directions

Who it suits

Good for

  • Visitors who want a precut tree from a wide species list without walking a field or using a saw
  • Buyers open to picking up firewood at the same stop, since the farm also sells split firewood with delivery available
  • People comfortable paying in cash, since no card option is mentioned anywhere in the record

Skip it if

Skip D & M Christmas Trees if you need a confirmed address to plug into GPS, since the exact street address would not resolve to a specific parcel and the coordinates on file are only the St. Ignatius town center, and skip it if you're set on cutting your own, since the record confirms this location has moved to precut-only.

Worth pairing with

No specific nearby-farm comparison is available in this record.
