A daily-hours Austin County farm offering both cut-your-own fields and precut Fraser Fir, though it may close before Christmas Eve if trees sell out, and no pricing was found.
Martin Farms Christmas Tree Plantation in Bellville offers a combination that several other farms in this Greater Houston research don’t quite match: genuinely daily hours across most of the week, rather than a schedule limited to weekends or a couple of specific days.
Monday through Saturday, the farm is open 10am to 5pm, with Sunday hours from 1pm to 5pm – meaning there’s no day of the week where the farm is fully closed during the season. That’s more generous than the Friday-Saturday-Sunday-only pattern seen at several nearby farms in this dataset, and it gives visitors real flexibility to pick a quieter weekday morning over a busy Saturday afternoon if avoiding crowds matters more than convenience.
Cut-your-own is available for both Virginia Pine and Leyland Cypress in the fields, giving visitors a choice between two commonly grown East and Central Texas species. For anyone who’d rather skip the cutting, fresh precut Fraser Firs round out the offering – a species that doesn’t grow reliably in this climate, so it’s brought in specifically for buyers who want that classic look. No pricing for either option turned up in any source checked, which is the one significant information gap in an otherwise reasonably well-documented listing.
The farm states it’s open from the Friday after Thanksgiving (resolving to Nov 27, 2026) through Christmas Eve (Dec 24, 2026) – but adds the caveat “or until they sell out.” That’s an important qualifier: it means the stated end date is a ceiling, not a guarantee. If the farm’s inventory moves quickly, especially during the traditionally busiest weeks right after Thanksgiving, a visitor planning to shop in the final days before Christmas could arrive to find a smaller selection, or none at all. If having a wide choice of trees matters more to you than convenience of timing, an earlier visit in the season is the safer plan.
Hayrides, a gift shop, a picnic area, wreaths, and refreshments are all part of the property, per the record – a solid, if not extraordinary, set of amenities that rounds out a straightforward tree-buying trip into more of a family outing.
Martin Farms’ daily hours make it one of the more schedule-flexible options in this research, and the choice between two cut-your-own species plus a precut fir covers most visitor preferences – but the sell-out risk near the season’s stated end and the complete lack of pricing mean an earlier visit and a phone call are both worth factoring into your plan.
Open Friday after Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve, or until sold out -- resolving to Nov 27-Dec 24, 2026. Hours are Mon-Sat 10am-5pm and Sun 1pm-5pm, more generous than the weekend-only pattern common at other farms.
Not stated directly, but hayrides and a picnic area suggest more than a quick pickup if you plan to use them.
Not stated in the record. Daily hours across most of the week likely spread out visitor traffic more evenly than farms limited to weekends only, though the first Saturday after Thanksgiving remains a reasonable bet for the single busiest day.
Not described in the record.

Skip Martin Farms if you're planning a very-late-December visit and need guaranteed availability, since the farm may close before Christmas Eve if it sells out first, and skip it if you need confirmed tree pricing before committing to the drive.
