An established Johnson County farm (since 1997) offering both cut-your-own and precut trees, but it's weekend-only and closes once trees sell out rather than on a fixed date -- and no tree pricing is published.
Sunset Hill Tree Farm has been operating in Johnson County since 1997, which gives it more of a track record than many of the smaller, newer-sounding listings in this research. It offers a genuinely flexible choice for visitors: cut your own tree in the field, or buy one already cut, across two species – Fraser Fir and Virginia Pine.
Unlike farms that run daily or expand their hours as the season goes on, Sunset Hill opens specifically for the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday immediately following Thanksgiving – 2026 dates of November 27 through 29 – and then continues on weekends only after that, running 9am to 5pm. If weekday access to a tree farm matters to your schedule, this isn’t the farm that will accommodate it; the entire operation is built around weekend visits.
The more important scheduling detail is that the farm doesn’t run on a fixed calendar through a set end date the way some competitors do. Instead, it closes for the season once its tree inventory sells out. That’s a meaningful distinction for anyone tempted to put off a tree-buying trip until closer to Christmas: there’s a real chance the farm will have already sold through its stock by then, particularly in popular sizes. The opening weekend right after Thanksgiving is the safest bet for full selection, even though it’s also likely to be the busiest weekend of the season.
Despite the farm’s established history, no Christmas tree pricing – per-foot or flat-rate – was found in any source checked. The one dollar figure that is available in the record belongs to a different product entirely: the same property’s fall pumpkin patch charges $8 per person for general admission, with children age 3 and under free. That’s real, useful information if you’re also considering an October visit, but it tells you nothing about what a Christmas tree will cost, so don’t let that figure anchor your expectations for the tree-buying trip.
Sunset Hill offers a real choice of tree species and cutting methods backed by nearly three decades of operation, but the combination of weekend-only hours, a sell-until-gone closing policy, and no published tree pricing means the safest plan is an early-season weekend visit with your budget expectations set by a phone call rather than any number in this record.
The farm opens the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday after Thanksgiving (2026: Nov 27-29), 9am-5pm, then continues weekends only until sold out. Earlier weekends in the run give better odds of selection than late December.

Skip Sunset Hill if you're planning a mid-to-late-December visit and need guaranteed tree availability, since the farm closes once it sells out rather than on a fixed calendar date, and skip it if weekday access matters, since it's weekends-only.

9am-5pm, opening the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday after Thanksgiving (2026: Nov 27-29), then continuing weekends only until the farm sells out of trees.
Not stated in the record. No tree pricing was found in sources checked. The farm's separate October pumpkin patch charges $8/person, but that figure doesn't apply to Christmas trees.
Not guaranteed. The farm closes for the season once it sells out of trees rather than on a fixed date, so late-season availability depends on how quickly earlier visitors buy through the inventory.
