A 10-acre family u-cut farm with a farm-animal petting element and wagons and saws provided, but with a genuine, unresolved conflict in the record — a 2025 seasonal guide listed it as open while a business directory currently flags it as temporarily closed.
McLean Christmas Tree Farm is a 10-acre family-run u-cut operation with wagons and saws provided, most trees in the 5 to 7 foot range, and a farm-animal element — donkeys, geese, and chickens — that sets it apart from strictly commercial tree lots. Species lean toward Nordmann and Turkish fir along with spruce, with only limited Fraser fir available.
This is the most important thing to know before planning a visit: a November 2025 regional guide included McLean in its seasonal roundup, describing a tentative season of November 28 through December 14 (marked “TBD” in that source). At the same time, a business directory listing currently flags the business as “TEMP. CLOSED.” Those two pieces of information don’t agree, and nothing found during this research pass resolves which one is accurate. That’s a materially different situation from most farms in this batch, where the gap is simply missing information rather than directly conflicting signals about whether the business is even operating.
Given the discrepancy, the responsible move is to confirm current status directly — by phone at 425-891-7042, or via the farm’s Facebook page, which appears to be its active online presence — before driving out. Treating either source as definitive on its own risks either missing a farm that’s actually open, or making a wasted trip to one that currently isn’t.
Beyond the trees, wagons and saws are provided, and the animal-viewing element (donkeys, geese, chickens) is a genuine plus for families with young kids who want more than a straightforward cutting errand. The farm accepts cash, check, and card, per the record — more payment flexibility than several other Skagit Valley farms in this research, some of which are cash-only.
As with many farms in this batch, there’s no price_from and no price_note here, so there’s no dollar figure this page can offer for a tree. That’s a secondary concern compared to the open/closed conflict, but worth asking about in the same phone call.
McLean has real appeal on paper — animals, saws, wagons, flexible payment — but the unresolved conflict between a 2025 seasonal guide and a directory listing showing the business as closed means this isn’t a farm to show up at without checking first. If you can’t get a clear answer, Big Lake Trees or Laue’s Christmas Tree Farm, both also in the Skagit Valley, are worth considering instead.
A 2025 regional guide listed a tentative season of Nov 28-Dec 14, marked 'TBD' in that source. This wasn't confirmed on the farm's own site, and a business directory currently shows the business as 'TEMP. CLOSED' — a discrepancy that wasn't resolved during this research pass.
Not stated directly, but with donkeys, geese, and chickens to visit alongside the trees, a family with kids may want more time than a bare tree-cutting stop.
Not stated in the record.
Not described in the record.
Not addressed in the source. Wagons are provided, per the record, which may help with hauling a tree back from the field.
Skip visiting without confirming current status first — a business directory currently flags this farm as temporarily closed, which conflicts with its inclusion in a November 2025 seasonal guide, and that conflict wasn't resolved in this research pass.
Big Lake Trees & Events and Laue's Christmas Tree Farm are both also in the Skagit Valley if McLean's open/closed status can't be confirmed in time for your visit.
This is unresolved in the record. A November 2025 seasonal guide listed a tentative season, but a business directory currently flags the business as 'TEMP. CLOSED.' Confirm directly with the farm, via phone or its Facebook page, before visiting.
