Our take

Miller’s Tree Farm has kept things simple for at least 30 years: one flat price for any tree, any size, no per-foot math required. As of the 2025 season, that price was $80, per a Yelp listing updated that December, but the farm’s own site, a Weebly page, does not restate current pricing, so treat $80 as a solid recent reference point rather than a confirmed 2026 number. Call ahead if the exact price matters to your budget.

What flat pricing means for you

If the same flat-rate structure holds for 2026, there is no cost advantage to picking a smaller tree, a 4-foot tree and a much larger one would cost the same $80. That is good news if you want a big tree and do not want to pay extra for it, and a non-factor if you were hoping a smaller tree would save you money.

A narrow visiting window

The farm is open Friday through Sunday only, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed Monday through Thursday. If your only free time is a weekday, this is not the farm for you this season, there is no evening or weekday option described anywhere in the record.

Cash or check, no card

Payment here is cash or check only, with no card option mentioned in any source checked. This is a real trip-planning detail: if you are used to tapping a card at farm stands, bring cash or your checkbook instead, or you may find yourself unable to complete a purchase.

What’s missing

No information turned up on which tree species Miller’s carries, whether you cut your own tree or staff does it, or what saw setup, if any, is provided. None of that is guessable from a flat-rate pricing model, so if any of it matters to your decision, a phone call before you drive out is the only way to get an answer.

Crowds

With only three open days a week, whatever traffic the farm gets each season is compressed into a smaller window than farms open daily. If your visit falls on a Saturday, especially the first one after Thanksgiving, expect more competition for good trees than a weekday-heavy schedule would produce elsewhere.

A long track record, thinly documented online

Running for 30-plus years is a real signal of staying power, most tree lots that cannot keep customers coming back do not last three decades. But that longevity has not translated into much online documentation: the farm’s own Weebly page confirms the history without restating current pricing or hours, and no dedicated, regularly updated website was found. That gap between reputation and published detail is worth keeping in mind. A farm can be well established locally and still be hard to research from home, which is exactly the situation here.

Bottom line

Miller’s offers a straightforward, three-decade-plus flat-rate model that removes pricing guesswork, but the $80 figure is a 2025 reference, not a confirmed 2026 price, and the record leaves species, cutting policy, and hours-adjacent details genuinely unanswered. A quick call before visiting closes most of those gaps.

What to bring

  • Cash or a checkbook -- no card option is mentioned anywhere in the sources checked
  • A call to (208) 625-8599 to confirm the 2026 price, since $80 comes from 2025-season reporting
  • Patience with a narrow schedule, since the farm is closed Monday through Thursday

How to spend less here

  • The record's $80 figure is from 2025-season reporting and not yet confirmed for 2026, so treat it as a starting reference rather than this year's price
  • Because pricing was described as flat regardless of size in 2025, if that structure holds for 2026 there is no cost advantage to choosing a smaller tree

Who it suits

Good for

  • Buyers who want one flat price regardless of tree size, since no per-foot math is involved
  • Visitors who can only make it out on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday
  • Anyone comfortable paying cash or by check

Skip it if

Skip this farm if you can only visit on a weekday, since it is closed Monday through Thursday, or if you need to pay by card, since only cash or check is accepted.
