A cash-or-check-only farm near Silver Falls State Park that's genuinely dog-friendly, with free dog treats alongside the usual cocoa — but bring cash, since cards aren't accepted.
Pricing not published in the source.
Cash only. This farm doesn't take cards, based on what we found — bring cash or confirm ahead if that's changed.
The single most important planning fact for Hidden Lake Tree Farm isn’t about trees at all — it’s about payment. The record is explicit that the farm accepts cash or checks only, with no cards. That’s a real trip-planning detail worth flagging plainly: if you’re used to tapping a card everywhere, this is one of the few farms in this research where showing up without cash could mean leaving without a tree. Plan accordingly and bring more cash than you think you’ll need, since no pricing is published to help you estimate the total in advance.
Beyond the payment policy, Hidden Lake stands out as dog-friendly in a specific, verifiable way: leashed dogs are welcome, and the farm offers free dog treats alongside its hot cocoa, coffee, and candy canes for people. That’s a small but real detail that separates this listing from farms that don’t mention pets at all, and it’s worth knowing if your holiday tree trip usually includes the family dog.
The farm offers U-cut, fresh-cut (staff-cut on request), and precut trees, with shaking and baling included regardless of which option you choose. That’s a wider set of choices than farms limited to U-cut only, and it means your group doesn’t need to agree on one approach — someone who wants the field experience and someone who’d rather grab something already cut can both be accommodated in the same visit.
Hidden Lake sits near Silver Falls State Park, which the source specifically calls out as a natural pairing for visitors who want to combine a hike or scenic stop with tree shopping. What’s still missing from this record is any tree pricing — none was found in research, so there’s no honest number to include here, and the cash-only policy makes that gap more consequential than usual, since you can’t just plan to pay whatever it costs by card on the spot. The 2025 season ran close to a full month (Nov 23–Dec 24), but 2026 dates aren’t yet published, so confirm the schedule, and bring cash, before making the drive.
Most farms in this research either don’t specify a payment method or explicitly confirm cards are accepted; Hidden Lake is one of the few where cash-or-check is stated outright as the only option. Combined with the lack of any published tree price, that’s a genuine planning compound problem: you can’t estimate how much cash to bring from this record alone. A reasonable, honestly-framed approach is to bring more cash than you’d expect to need for a typical tree purchase, since running short with no card backup and a distance already driven is a worse outcome than carrying a bit extra. If an ATM stop on the way out makes sense given your starting point, that’s worth building into the trip.
No 2026 dates are published yet. The 2025 season ran Nov 23–Dec 24, close to a full month, so there's reasonable flexibility once 2026 dates are confirmed.
