A ten-acre Sonoma County farm with over 50 years of history and a full family-activity roster, but pricing is essentially unpublished and one directory flags it as temporarily closed.
A $3-off coupon on pre-cut Noble or Nordmann fir was referenced by a local guide; base prices not found.
Garlock Tree Farm has been growing and selling conifers on the same ten-acre Bloomfield Road property for more than 50 years, which puts it among the more established operations in this Sonoma County research batch. It pairs that longevity with a genuinely full family-activity roster: Santa visits, a petting zoo, a candy cane bounce house, hayrides, and a snack bar, all alongside both cut-your-own and pre-cut tree options. That combination positions it closer to a full agritourism outing than a quick in-and-out tree stop.
One detail deserves direct attention: a Yelp listing for this farm shows a “TEMP. CLOSED” flag. Cross-referenced against Sonoma County Tourism and local press describing active 2025-season hours (Tuesday through Sunday, roughly November 29 through December 22 that year), this looks like a stale seasonal artifact rather than an actual shutdown — the kind of flag that gets applied to farms that go quiet for eleven months of the year and never gets manually corrected. Still, “looks like a stale flag” isn’t the same as “confirmed open,” so calling 707-823-4307 before making the trip is a reasonable precaution rather than an overreaction.
The 2026 dates used here — an estimated November 27 through December 22 — come from resolving forward the recurring pattern of “day after Thanksgiving through about three weeks later” that shows up in local sources, not from a farm-confirmed 2026 posting. Treat this as a reasonable guess based on past behavior, not a locked-in calendar. The hours split by day of week matters too: Tuesday through Friday runs a shorter noon-to-5pm window, while Saturday and Sunday open at 9am and also run to 5pm, giving weekend visitors more total time on the property.
Base tree pricing simply wasn’t found in the sources reviewed for this farm — no per-foot rate, no flat price, nothing beyond a single mention from a local guide of a $3-off coupon available on pre-cut Noble or Nordmann fir. A $3 discount is only useful information if you know what it’s discounting off of, and that base figure isn’t available here, so there’s no honest total to quote. If a pre-cut Noble or Nordmann fir is what you’re after, it’s worth asking about that coupon specifically when you call.
With Santa, a petting zoo, a bounce house, hayrides, and a snack bar all in the mix, this isn’t a farm built around efficiency — it’s built around making an afternoon of it. If your priority is grabbing a tree and leaving quickly, the activity infrastructure here may mean more waiting around than you want; if you’re bringing kids who’ll enjoy the extras, it’s a real plus.
Garlock combines a genuinely long operating history with a solid family-activity lineup, but a conflicting closure signal on one directory and no published pricing anywhere mean a quick phone call before you drive is the responsible move here.
Estimated 2026-11-27 through 2026-12-22, based on the recurring "day after Thanksgiving through about three weeks later" pattern found in local sources — not independently confirmed for 2026. Weekday hours (Tue-Fri noon-5pm) are shorter than weekend hours (Sat-Sun 9am-5pm).
Not stated directly, but with Santa visits, a petting zoo, a bounce house, hayrides, and a snack bar all on-site, this reads as a longer family outing rather than a quick tree run.
Not stated directly, but a farm running Santa visits, a petting zoo, and a bounce house on a ten-acre property likely draws real weekend family traffic, especially given the shorter Tue-Fri hours pushing more visitors toward the weekend window.

Skip Garlock if you haven't confirmed current-week hours by phone, since a third-party listing flags it as temporarily closed even though local tourism sources describe active recent-season hours, and skip it if you need a published price before committing, since none was found beyond a mention of a small coupon.
No specific nearby-farm comparison is available in this record.
Not published. The only pricing detail found is a $3-off coupon referenced by a local guide for pre-cut Noble or Nordmann fir — off a base price that wasn't found — so there's no reliable dollar figure to give here.
A Yelp listing flags it as 'TEMP. CLOSED,' but 2025-season local sources confirm active Tue-Sun hours running roughly Nov 29-Dec 22 that year, so the Yelp flag appears to be a stale seasonal artifact rather than a real closure. Call 707-823-4307 to confirm before you drive out.
