Horton Tree Farms

Horton Tree Farms Christmas tree farm north of Toronto and members of The Christmas Tree Farmers of Ontario.

The Horton family has been offering cut-your-own plantation-grown Christmas Trees on their farms in York Region since 1964. Our original customers who came as children now have children (and grandchildren!) of their own and they continue to make choosing and cutting down a tree a family tradition. Today we estimate that over 1 million visitors have visited our farms with their families, friends, o

r schools. Horton Tree Farms are owned and run by the Horton brothers who have spent a lifetime creating ecologically kind Christmas tree crops. It takes approximately 10-12 years for a sapling to grow into a harvestable tree, and each year, we employ many local students to prune the trees so they are 'picture perfect'! Our customers tell us one of the things they enjoy the most about their visits is the warm welcome they receive from one of the Horton family members and enjoying a day outside, creating memories for years to come.

Unfortunately, we will not be opening this Christmas season as we need to give the trees another year to grow bigger and better.

We thank you for your continuous support of our small family business, and look forward to welcoming you all back next year. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year 😊🎄

***November 15 2020 : IMPORTANT BULLETIN***

Unfortunately, we have decided that we will not be opening the farms for Christmas Trees this year. Both of the farms are short on good trees and would benefit from a year off. Also with COVID on the upswing we fear that the crowds would be unmanageable on busy days causing health and safety concerns and long lineups and wait times. We are sorry for the disappointment and appreciate your understanding. For us this will be the first time in 55 years that we're not donning the red hats. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2021!

Have a Merry Christmas and please take care.

Sincerely,
The Hortons

Our Story

The Horton family has been offering cut-your-own plantation-grown Christmas Trees on their farms in York Region since 1964. Our original customers who came as children now have children (and grandchildren!) of their own and they continue to make choosing and cutting down a tree a family tradition.

We also welcome many families during the springtime Sugarbush season at our Slaters Road "home" farm. Today we estimate that over 1 million visitors have visited our farms with their families, friends, or schools. Horton Tree Farms are owned and run by the Horton brothers who have spent a lifetime creating ecologically kind Christmas tree crops. It takes approximately 10-12 years for a sapling to grow into a harvestable tree, and each year, we employ many local students to prune the trees so they are 'picture perfect'! Our customers tell us one of the things they enjoy the most about their visits is the warm welcome they receive from one of the Horton family members (especially Jake!) and enjoying a day outside, creating memories for years to come. We look forward to seeing you in December and again in March! -- The Hortons
