Bauman's Farm & Garden
Gervais, Oregon · Marion County
Call ahead unconfirmed for 2026
We couldn’t confirm this farm’s 2026 season — call before you drive.
Bauman's is the all-day farm stop of the mid-valley, out on Howell Prairie Road in Gervais a few minutes north of Salem. The bakery, the garden center and the farm market all keep running through December, so the tree is usually only half the reason a family drives out.
Trees are priced flat regardless of height — one price for Douglas fir, another for noble and the specialty firs — and you can cut your own or take one already cut. The other half of the trip is the wreath bench, where they build wreaths and centerpieces out of local greens with dried fruit, winter berries and dried flowers worked in, and ship them anywhere in the country.
The facts
- Cut-your-own Noble firs and Douglas firs; pre-cut too
- Also at the farm: decorated wreaths & centerpieces, farm bakery, garden center, farm market

Christmas tree disposal and recycling in Oregon
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 Portland — or Christmas tree disposal in every city we cover →
- How do I dispose of a Christmas tree in Oregon?
- 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 1 city in Oregon, 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 Oregon?
- The one city we cover in Oregon 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.
