Hemphill Farms

Oregon City, Oregon · Clackamas County

Call ahead unconfirmed for 2026

We couldn’t confirm this farm’s 2026 season — call before you drive.

The Hemphill family has farmed in Redland, out past Oregon City on Redland Road, since 1912. The wholesale side started in 1984; the cut-and-carry fields families know opened in 2018, and Jacob and Chelsea Hemphill run it now with three kids coming up behind them.

Noble, grand and Douglas fir grow in the rows, priced by the foot, with unsheared natural nobles for anyone who likes a wilder tree and pre-cut ones up front for anyone who'd rather not carry a saw. They hand out saws, twine and carts, then haul, shake, bale and load the tree for you. A Christmas train runs for the kids, there are wagon rides and warming fires, hot chocolate and coffee are on the house, and Santa comes the first two weekends. Cards cost three dollars more than cash.

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.
