A Petaluma farm offering both a true cut-your-own field, separately sourced fresh-cut firs, and flocking on request, plus a live animal corral, but no 2026 dates or pricing were posted.
Little Hills combines a genuine choose-and-cut field — growing Monterey pine, Carolina sapphire, and Leyland cypress on-site — with separately sourced fresh-cut fir species (Noble, Douglas, and Turkish fir) for anyone who wants a specific fir look without cutting it themselves. That two-track setup, plus the option of pre-flocked or custom flocking on request, gives shoppers real flexibility if they know exactly what look they’re going for rather than just what’s growing in the field that week.
Beyond the trees, the farm runs a live animal corral with a donkey, pigs, goats, a turkey, llamas, and chickens — a notably varied lineup compared to the goat-and-not-much-else petting setups mentioned at some other farms in this research. For families with young kids, that alone could be worth the trip regardless of which tree ends up in the car. Santa visits run Saturdays and Sundays specifically, and there’s a gift shop plus hot cider, hot chocolate, and popcorn on-site.
The most important honest caveat here: the farm’s own site stated it was “Closed for the 2025 Season” at the time of this research — meaning that season had wrapped, not that the business shut down — with no 2026 opening date posted yet. That’s normal for this point in the year and shouldn’t be read as a red flag, but it does mean there’s no season window to plan around right now. The hours shown (Tuesday-Friday 10am-6pm, Saturday-Sunday 9am-5pm) reflect the most recently posted 2025-season schedule, not a confirmed 2026 one.
No pricing was found for a base tree, and no price was found for the flocking service either, despite flocking being explicitly offered. That’s two separate cost unknowns stacked on top of each other, which makes this a harder farm to budget for sight unseen than some others in this research batch. If flocking is part of your plan, that’s a second question to ask alongside the base tree price when you call ahead.
If a specific fir species matters to you — say, wanting a Noble fir specifically — it’s worth confirming with the farm that it falls into the fresh-cut category rather than assuming you’ll walk the field and cut one yourself. The three species grown in the actual cut-your-own field (Monterey pine, Carolina sapphire, Leyland cypress) are a different group entirely from the three fresh-cut fir options.
Little Hills offers real variety — a genuine cutting field, sourced fresh-cut firs, flocking, and a well-stocked animal corral — but with no 2026 dates or pricing published anywhere found, a phone call to 707-763-4678 is the responsible next step before planning a visit.
No 2026 season dates are posted — the farm's site stated it was closed for the 2025 season with no new opening date found at the time of research. Weekday hours (Tue-Fri 10am-6pm) run longer than most competitors' weekday windows, while weekends run 9am-5pm.
Not stated directly, but a gift shop and a full animal corral (donkey, pigs, goats, turkey, llamas, chickens) alongside the tree selection suggest a visit that can run longer than a quick cut-and-go.
Not stated directly, but Saturday and Sunday Santa visits alongside the animal corral and gift shop point toward weekends being the busier draw, especially since weekday hours (10am-6pm) already run longer than many competitors, suggesting midweek is the calmer alternative.

Skip Little Hills for now if you need a confirmed 2026 opening date or a published price before committing, since neither was found in the sources reviewed — the most recent statement on the farm's own site was that the 2025 season had ended.
No specific nearby-farm comparison is available in this record.
Not published. No price_from or price_note figure was found in the sources reviewed, so there's no honest number to give here — call 707-763-4678 to ask.
Partly. The record describes a genuine choose-and-cut field growing Monterey pine, Carolina sapphire, and Leyland cypress, alongside separately-sourced fresh-cut Noble fir, Douglas fir, and Turkish fir — ask which category a specific species falls under.
Yes, per the record, either pre-flocked or custom on request, though no price for flocking was found.
Donkey, pigs, goats, turkey, llamas, and chickens, per the record.
