A small family farm distinguished by an antique wagon ride out to the tree field, though no 2026 season dates or pricing have been published, so treat any specific visit date as unconfirmed.
Myers Tree Farm & Potting Shed is a small, family-run operation on 15 acres in rural southeast Iowa, and it has one genuinely distinctive feature in this research: an antique wagon ride carries visitors out to the tree field rather than customers driving or walking there themselves. That’s a real point of difference worth building a visit around if you want the trip itself to feel like part of the occasion rather than a quick errand.
Most cut-your-own farms in this dataset describe walking rows or driving a farm road to reach the trees. Here, the wagon ride is built into the experience, which likely means a slower, more deliberate visit — useful if you’re bringing young kids who’d enjoy the ride itself, and worth factoring into your time budget since it’s an extra step compared with simply parking near the field.
If cutting your own tree isn’t the priority, pre-cut Fraser Fir is available. That’s the only species specifically confirmed for the pre-cut option in sources reviewed; the choose-and-cut field’s full species mix wasn’t itemized anywhere found, so if a specific type matters to you for the cut-your-own experience, ask directly rather than assuming Fraser Fir is the only option out in the field.
Homemade cookies and hot cocoa are offered on-site, a small but genuine amenity that fits the farm’s family-run character.
The farm’s posted weekly hours — Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday noon to 4 p.m. — give a sense of the weekly rhythm, but no specific 2026 season opening or closing date was found anywhere in the sources reviewed. That’s a meaningful gap for a smaller, 15-acre farm: with less total inventory than larger operations, there’s a real chance popular sizes or species sell through before a season technically “ends,” and without confirmed dates, this record can’t tell you when that risk becomes serious. Calling ahead is more important here than at farms with a large, well-documented inventory.
If the wagon ride and a slower-paced, family-oriented visit appeal to you, Myers is worth seeking out, and the pre-cut Fraser Fir option is there if you’d rather skip the field entirely. Just don’t wait until late in the season assuming a small farm will have the same staying power as a larger one — call first, especially heading into December.
Not documented for 2026. General hours are Mon-Fri 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sat 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sun noon-4 p.m., but no season opening or closing dates were found.
Longer than a typical cut-your-own stop, since the antique wagon ride out to the 15-acre field is part of the experience rather than driving or walking there yourself.
Not documented in the record, but this reads as a small, family-run operation, which typically means more limited inventory than larger farms and a real chance of selling out earlier in the season.
Not specified in the record.
Not addressed in the sources reviewed. Note that access to the field is by wagon ride rather than walking or driving yourself, which may itself be worth asking about if mobility is a concern.
Skip assuming this smaller farm will have full selection late in the season, since its size and the lack of published 2026 dates both point toward calling ahead before a late-December visit.
Not documented in the record.
An antique wagon ride takes visitors out to the 15-acre tree field, rather than customers driving or walking there unassisted — a distinctive touch not mentioned at most other farms in this research.

11337 Sperry Rd, Sperry, IA 52650, in Des Moines County. It is one of 3 farms we track in Southeast Iowa.
We track 3 farms in Southeast Iowa, 2 of which let you cut your own tree. The farm has not published a starting price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
What sets it apart locally: it has a hayride or sleigh ride, a cocoa or cider stand, which most Southeast Iowa farms on our list do not.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 1 of the 3 farms we track in Southeast Iowa had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
