Wahmhoff Farms Nursery
Gobles, Michigan · Van Buren County
Opens Nov 27 usual opening — confirm for 2026
Usually opens the Friday after Thanksgiving (Nov 27) — the farm hasn’t posted its 2026 dates yet, so confirm before you drive.
Wahmhoff has grown trees near Gobles for more than seventy years, and the choose-and-cut side runs to 150 acres about fifteen miles west of Kalamazoo, a mile south of town on M-40. Firs, spruces and pines are spread over enough ground that you can walk a long way before you settle on one.
Weekends are why families make the drive: free popcorn and tractor-drawn wagon rides out to the fields, then horse-drawn wagons, Santa and a petting zoo on Black Friday and the two weekends after, with food and coffee trucks parked nearby. The gift shop sells ornaments and fresh wreaths made on the farm.

Christmas tree disposal and recycling in Michigan
The other end of the same trip: when the tree comes down in January, disposal and recycling are a city job and the rules change at the city line — here is who takes it in Ann Arbor · Detroit — or Christmas tree disposal in every city we cover →
- How do I dispose of a Christmas tree in Michigan?
- Not at the farm — getting rid of a tree is a city service, and the rules change at the city line. We read the tree collection page for 2 cities in Michigan, linked just above: each one says whether the tree goes out for curbside pickup or to a drop-off site, and what has to come off it before it does.
- Is there Christmas tree recycling in Michigan?
- 1 of the 2 cities we cover in Michigan says on its own page what becomes of a collected tree, and our page quotes that sentence. Where a city doesn't say, we don't say it either.
- Who handles Christmas tree removal once the season is over?
- The city, or the county authority that runs collection for it — that is the body every page in that January list is read from, and the only one that can tell you when it is running. Private haulers will take a tree away as well; they are not on this site, because we only write down what a city puts in writing itself.
