A genuine, long-running choose-and-cut farm with fresh cedar wreaths as a specialty, but almost nothing about hours, pricing, or tree species has been published anywhere this research could find, so this is a call-first listing.
Route 24 Farm has been running as a choose-and-cut Christmas tree operation in Lafayette County since 2000, which is real longevity for a small family farm, and it makes fresh wreaths from red cedar it harvests on the property itself. Beyond that, though, this listing is thin in the way that matters most for trip planning: no hours, no pricing, and no published list of tree species turned up anywhere in the sources checked for this research.
A thin record here isn’t a sign the farm has closed or stopped operating — the phone number and address on file are current, and the farm’s Facebook page exists and is active enough to be the primary source other directories point to. It simply means the farm hasn’t built out an independent website the way some of its Missouri competitors have, and relies on word of mouth and Facebook rather than search-optimized pages. That’s common enough among smaller, longer-established farms that don’t need to advertise heavily to keep their regular customers coming back.
If you’re set on visiting, the responsible move is to call the number on file or check the farm’s Facebook page in the days before you plan to go, and ask directly about current hours, what it costs to cut a tree, and which species are on the lot this year. Guessing based on what nearby Missouri farms charge would not be honest, since per-foot and flat-rate pricing varies a lot between farms even within the same county, and this record has no numbers of its own to reason from.
The one genuinely distinctive detail in this record is the wreaths: fresh red cedar, harvested and made by the farm itself rather than bought wholesale and resold. If you’re in the area primarily for a wreath rather than a tree, that’s a point in this farm’s favor over competitors that don’t mention where their wreath material comes from.
Route 24 Farm sits in the Missouri River bottoms near Wellington, roughly halfway between Kansas City and Lexington. That puts it in a rural stretch rather than directly off a major highway exit, so plan your route with a map rather than assuming it’s a quick detour from I-70.
Even without farm-specific dates, a general pattern holds across most Missouri choose-and-cut farms: the Saturday after Thanksgiving is typically the single busiest day of the whole season, since a roughly four-to-five-week window concentrates most visitors around one holiday weekend. If Route 24 Farm follows anything like that pattern, showing up earlier rather than later gives you better odds of good selection, even though this record can’t confirm the farm’s own crowd patterns specifically.
There’s enough here to say the farm is real and has a specific niche worth knowing about, but not enough to plan a trip around without a phone call first. Treat this page as a reason to look the farm up, not as a substitute for confirming details directly.
Unknown. No season dates or hours were found in any source reviewed, so there's no basis here for recommending a specific week or weekend.
Not documented, though a straightforward choose-and-cut visit without a listed roster of extra activities suggests a shorter trip than farms with hayrides or a full gift shop.
Not documented in the record.
Not specified in the record.
Not addressed in the sources reviewed.
Skip planning a special trip around Route 24 Farm until you've called and confirmed hours, pricing, and tree availability directly, since none of that is published anywhere this research could locate.
Sits in the Missouri River bottoms near Wellington, roughly halfway between Kansas City and Lexington, making it a possible stop if you're already traveling that stretch of Route 24.
