Santa Marana Xmas Tree Ranch

Our take

Santa Marana Xmas Tree Ranch, run by Troy and Jodi Yahraes on a six-acre property outside Marana, is less a straightforward tree lot and more a small holiday festival that happens to sell trees. Local coverage describes goats, chickens, ducks, a “Resale Ranch” antique and resale shop, food trucks, and live music on site, alongside the tree sales themselves. That’s worth knowing going in: if you’re picturing a quiet drive to grab a tree off a trailer, this reads more like a family outing with several things to do once you’re there.

What’s actually for sale

The tree selection here is a genuine mix. A small planting of drought-tolerant Afghan or Sonoran pine is grown directly on the property and sold live, potted, in sizes from about 3 to 7 feet — a real point of difference from farms that only resell trucked-in stock. Alongside that, the farm brings in truckloads of precut Douglas fir, Noble fir, and Fraser fir from Oregon, which is where most of Arizona’s fir selection ultimately comes from given the state’s climate. Because the sourcing is mixed rather than cleanly one or the other, the record classifies this location as precut_only rather than cut-your-own — you won’t be walking a field with a saw here, whether you choose the potted local pine or a shipped-in fir.

The gaps that matter before you drive out

This is one of the thinner records in terms of hard logistics, and the reason is documented directly: the farm’s own domain, maranachristmastreefarm.com, returned no result when checked for this research, meaning there’s no current, farm-authored source for 2026 details. What’s available instead comes from a pickyourownchristmastree.org listing updated in December 2025, a 2023 local news article about the Thanksgiving Day opening, and older feature coverage. That’s enough to establish the shape of the operation but not enough to hand you a confirmed phone number, exact hours, or any tree price — none of those turned up anywhere checked. If you want current information, the farm’s Facebook page is the most likely place to find it, since the primary website is gone.

Season timing and what to expect

The 2025 season opened on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, and ran Wednesday through Sunday with no published closing date — unusual among farms in this dataset, most of which post a firm end date. The Resale Ranch shop apparently keeps additional weekday hours beyond the tree season itself, and the farm also runs a monthly Farm Fair on the first Sunday of the month (paused June through August), which is a separate recurring event rather than part of the Christmas tree operation specifically. Local reporting describes attendance at the farm’s vendor fairs growing from roughly 100 visitors in its early years to 2,000-3,000 more recently, which suggests this has become a genuinely popular local draw — plan for weekend crowds accordingly, and consider a weekday if the festival atmosphere isn’t the point of your visit.

The honest bottom line on cost

No dollar amount for a tree, admission, or parking is confirmed anywhere in the sources checked for this record, so none can be responsibly stated here. That’s a real gap for anyone trying to budget a trip, and the honest answer is to treat this as a call-or-check-Facebook-first stop rather than one you can plan a specific dollar figure around in advance.
