Our take

Johnson’s Christmas Trees has been in the same family since 1962, when a grandfather planted the first trees on this Cocolalla property, making it one of the longer-running operations covered in this research. That kind of history does not guarantee anything about your specific visit, but it is a real, farm-stated fact rather than a marketing claim.

Two ways to get a tree, one price either way

The farm offers a genuine cut-your-own option, where you bring or borrow your own bowsaw, and a choose-and-cut option where the proprietor helps you select, cut, bale, and load the tree. Either way, the price is a flat $55 regardless of species or size, no per-foot math, no premium for a specific fir over a spruce. If you want the biggest tree the flat rate allows, this pricing structure rewards that choice.

The saw detail matters

If you are planning to cut the tree yourself rather than use the assisted option, note that the record describes customers bringing or borrowing their own bowsaw, the farm is not described as supplying one for that route. That is different from some other North Idaho farms in this research that provide saws, so do not assume one will be handed to you at the gate.

Weekends only, and no phone

The season opens the Friday after Thanksgiving (an estimated 2026-11-27 based on the farm’s relative description) and runs weekends only, there is no weekday option here. More unusually, no phone number is published anywhere checked. The farm directs visitors to a website contact form instead. That is a real friction point if you have a last-minute question about availability or hours on the day you are planning to go, since a contact form does not get you a same-day answer the way a phone call might. Submit any questions well before your planned visit.

Finding the actual field

The farm’s listed address is 330 Geenen Road, but two additional locations, 49 Pinewood Lane and 2222 Cocolalla Loop Road, also appear in the sources checked, and these may be the actual field entrances rather than a farm office. If you are navigating by GPS, it is worth having more than one address on hand in case the first one does not lead you to an obvious entrance.

What’s not known

No season end date, hours, tree species list, or cash and card payment policy were found in the sources checked. None of that should stop you from visiting on a weekend during the season, but it does mean walking in with some open questions.

Bottom line

A flat $55 price and a genuine choice between cutting it yourself or having help make Johnson’s a straightforward option, as long as you accept the weekends-only schedule and the lack of a phone number for last-minute questions.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Season is estimated to start 2026-11-27, the Friday after Thanksgiving, resolved from the farm's own relative description. No closing date was published. The farm is open weekends only, so any visit has to land on a Saturday or Sunday during the season.

How long to budget

Not stated in the record.

Crowds

Not stated directly, but with only weekend hours available, whatever traffic the farm gets is concentrated into two days rather than spread across the week.

Parking

Not described in the source. Two separate field entrances are listed in addition to the main address, suggesting informal, field-based access rather than a single paved lot, though this is an inference, not a confirmed fact.

Strollers and accessibility

Not addressed in the source.

What to bring

  • Your own bowsaw if choosing the true cut-your-own option -- the record describes customers bringing or borrowing one, not the farm supplying it
  • Any questions submitted in advance through the farm's website contact form, since no phone number is published
  • More than one address on hand, since the farm's field entrances (49 Pinewood Lane and 2222 Cocolalla Loop Road) may differ from its listed 330 Geenen Road address

How to spend less here

  • The flat $55 price applies regardless of species or size, so there is no per-foot cost difference between a small and large tree here
  • Bring or borrow your own bowsaw for the cut-your-own option -- the record does not describe a saw being provided for that route, unlike the assisted choose-and-cut option where the proprietor helps cut

Who it suits

Good for

  • Budget-conscious visitors who want one clear price regardless of tree size or species
  • Anyone comfortable choosing between a true cut-your-own option and an assisted choose-and-cut option
  • Weekend visitors, since that is the only time the farm is open

Skip it if

Skip this farm if you need a weekday visit, since it is open weekends only, or if you might have a same-day question about availability, since no phone number is published and only a website contact form is available.

Worth pairing with

Sandpoint Ranch Tree Farm and Crowell's Land of Christmas, both in Sandpoint, are in the same general Bonner County corner of North Idaho as this farm.
