Our take

Merrywood Farm’s species list is one of the widest found anywhere in this research. Beyond the standard noble, Douglas, grand, and Nordmann fir carried by most farms in the area, the record notes limited quantities of sequoia, white pine, silver fir, Turkish fir, and spruce. That “limited quantities” framing matters: these aren’t necessarily always in stock, and a farm that explicitly says it sells until sold out (more on that below) means a less common species is more likely to run out early than the standard firs.

Sells until it’s gone, not until a set date

Rather than a fixed season-end date, the record describes Merrywood’s 2025 approach as an opening weekend (Nov 23–24), then daily sales starting Nov 29 and continuing “until sold out.” That’s a meaningfully different model than farms with a published closing date you can plan around — here, the effective end of the season depends entirely on how quickly trees sell, which the farm itself doesn’t control on a calendar. If a specific species or a particular size is the goal, going earlier in the season is the more reliable strategy, since there’s no guarantee of stock later even if the calendar suggests the season “should” still be running.

A real, if modest, kids’ activity

Free pony rides for children under 10 are offered on weekends only, with parent supervision required — a specific, verifiable detail rather than a vague “kids’ activities” mention. That’s a nice touch for families with younger children, though it’s worth noting this is weekend-only, so a weekday visit wouldn’t include it. Wreaths, boughs, and handicrafts are also sold, plus hot drinks and tree flocking, rounding out a fairly full but not overwhelming amenity list compared to the biggest agritourism-style farms in this research.

The honest gap

No tree pricing was published anywhere in the source for Merrywood, which means there’s no honest dollar figure to offer here, even a rough one. Given the wide species range, pricing likely varies meaningfully by type — as it does at other farms in this batch with published per-species rates — but that’s speculation rather than something this record supports. Call ahead or ask on-site, and if a limited species is your goal, don’t wait.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

No 2026 dates are published yet. The 2025 listing described a Nov 23–24 opening, then daily sales from Nov 29 until sold out — meaning the farm can close whenever inventory runs low, so going early is the safer plan for both selection and availability.

How long to budget

About an hour for the tree; longer on a weekend if you're doing pony rides or browsing the handicrafts.

Crowds

Not stated in the record. Weekend hours differ from weekday hours (9am–4:30pm on Sat–Sun, shorter windows on Monday and other weekdays), and pony rides are weekend-only, suggesting weekends are the busier and more activity-rich time to visit.

Parking

Not described in the record; expect an unpaved or gravel lot typical of a working farm.

Strollers and accessibility

Not addressed in the source. Both U-cut and precut trees are available, giving an option for visitors who don't want to walk a field.

What to bring

  • Cash or a card — payment method isn't specified, and no pricing is published either
  • A parent or guardian for pony rides, since the record specifies supervision is required for children under 10
  • Rope or a tarp for the drive home

How to spend less here

  • No pricing is published in the record, so there's no dollar figure to give here — ask about tree cost when you arrive
  • Pony rides are free for children under 10, per the record, which is one activity that won't add to your total
  • Hot drinks are offered, though the record doesn't state whether they're complimentary or for sale

Who it suits

Good for

  • Shoppers hoping for a less common species like sequoia, white pine, silver fir, Turkish fir, or spruce, in limited quantities
  • Families with kids under 10 who'd enjoy free weekend pony rides
  • Anyone who wants both U-cut and precut options

Skip it if

Skip if you're planning a visit late in the season and hoping for guaranteed availability, since the farm explicitly sells until stock runs out rather than holding to a fixed closing date, or if you need confirmed pricing before you go.

Worth pairing with

Lee Farms in nearby Tualatin offers a more heavily documented, reservation-based Winter Wonderland experience if Merrywood's sold-out-and-done approach makes you want a farm with steadier availability guarantees.
