Christmas tree farms in Illinois

14 farms for the 2026 season — 12 of them cut-your-own. Every sign below shows what the farm itself has posted: opening day, what's growing, and, once the season starts, whether trees are left.

Every farm below was checked against its own website or socials in August 2026. Farms we couldn’t confirm for the 2026 season say so plainly — call before you drive.

How this list works

We read each farm's own website and social pages — not last year's listicles — and the signs above say exactly how much the farm has posted so far. A farm marked call ahead is one we couldn't confirm for 2026; it may well be opening as usual, but check before you drive.

From the week of Thanksgiving through December 20 we re-check the big farms weekly, so sold-out means sold-out — not a guess.
