In Placerville, within the picturesque El Dorado County of the historic Gold Country, lies McGee Christmas Tree Farm. This charming farm spans 20 acres and welcomes dogs to join you while you browse the rows of fresh trees. You’ll find White Fir, Doug Fir, Noble, Silvertip, and Canaan Fir varieties growing here, each with its own character and needle retention qualities.

The farm keeps things straightforward with all-inclusive pricing that covers tax and packaging, so you won’t encounter surprise charges at checkout. They stock tall precut White Fir trees if you’d rather skip the cutting and carrying, though plenty of visitors enjoy selecting and cutting their own. Beyond trees, McGee offers fresh wreaths if you want to add seasonal greenery to your porch or door.

The landscape gives you nice scenery for photos—especially if you’re hoping to capture your dog with your new tree. Handicap-accessible pathways make the farm manageable for visitors with mobility considerations. On a chilly day, complimentary apples and hot cider from the surrounding area hit the spot while you’re walking around deciding between trees.

The dog-friendly setup means your dog can experience the whole outing with you rather than waiting in the car. You’re walking through fragrant evergreen rows together, which most dogs seem to enjoy. The open space gives them room to move comfortably while you’re thinking through your tree choices.

Since this is a working farm with seasonal operations, conditions and availability shift throughout the holiday season. Visiting earlier in December typically means better selection, while late-season visits might have picked-over options. Calling ahead before you make the drive from town will confirm they have what you’re looking for and give you a sense of how crowded it might be that day.
