A genuinely unusual combination of llama breeding and Christmas tree sales running since 1988, though tree species and pricing aren't published anywhere found.
Northern Vermont Llama Co. combines something you won’t find elsewhere in this research: a working llama-breeding operation alongside cut-your-own and pre-cut Christmas tree sales. The farm’s own site confirms tree season has run from Thanksgiving to Christmas since 1988, giving it a fairly long track record, even though specific 2026 dates weren’t published as of this research.
Beyond the trees, the farm offers llama treks reportedly running through the nearby Smugglers’ Notch Resort area — a genuinely distinctive family activity that has nothing to do with most other tree farms in this batch. The on-site gift shop leans into that same identity, selling handmade items crafted from the farm’s own llama fiber (yarn, ornaments, and similar goods), alongside more standard holiday items like wreaths, garlands, and kissing balls. If a llama trek is the reason you’re considering this farm, it’s worth calling ahead to ask whether treks need to be scheduled or booked, since the record doesn’t clarify that.
One older listing nicknamed part of the property the “Island of Misfit Trees” — a colorful detail that suggests a section of less-than-perfect trees may be sold at a discount, though this research couldn’t confirm whether that’s still an active part of the farm’s current offering or just a memorable name from an older source.
Tree species aren’t published anywhere found for this farm, which is a real gap if you have a specific preference — there’s no way to know from this record whether you’ll find balsam, Fraser, or something else on the lot. Pricing is similarly absent, so there’s no dollar figure to offer here at all. Given those gaps, calling 802-644-2257 ahead of a visit is the more sensible approach than showing up expecting a specific species or a known price.
The farm operates Saturday and Sunday only, 9am to 4:30pm. That’s a narrower window than daily-hours farms, so if your weekend calendar is already full during the season, this may require some scheduling around. Combined with the llama-specific draw, this reads as a farm worth planning a specific trip for — not a casual stop on the way to somewhere else — given both the unique activity and the real gaps in published tree details.
Waterville sits near the Smugglers’ Notch resort area in Lamoille County, a part of northern Vermont that draws its own winter tourism traffic separate from Christmas tree season — worth keeping in mind if you’re combining a llama trek with other plans in the area. The novelty here is real: nothing else in this research pairs livestock-based activities with tree sales in quite this way, and that alone may be reason enough for some families to choose this farm over a more conventional cut-your-own lot. But it’s worth being clear-eyed that the tree-buying side of the operation is documented more thinly than the llama side — no species list, no pricing, and a narrow two-day-a-week schedule. If the tree itself is your primary goal and the llamas are a bonus, a farm with more transparent tree pricing might serve you better; if the llama experience is the actual draw, the gaps around tree details matter less.
No 2026 dates were published. The farm operates Saturday and Sunday, 9am-4:30pm, and the tree season has historically run from Thanksgiving to Christmas since 1988.
An hour or more if you want to add a llama trek or browse the gift shop; 30 minutes for the tree alone.
Not documented, though a Saturday-and-Sunday-only schedule concentrates all visitors into two days rather than spreading them across the week.
