Welcome to Doran Family Tree Farm
Who we are
We’re a small, family-run farm with a big love for the holiday season. Our Christmas tree rental business started with a simple dream; to bring the joy of fresh, living trees into homes while helping create cherished memories that last for years.
Rooted right here in our local community, we hand-pick and care for each tree so it’s ready to become the heart of your holiday celebrations. From twinkling lights to shared laughter around the tree, we believe these moments are worth preserving, and we’re honored to be part of them.
When you rent a tree from us, you’re not just decorating for the season, you’re supporting a local family, keeping traditions alive, and celebrating Christmas in a way that’s beautiful, meaningful, and a little more sustainable.
What we do
At our farm, we make it easy to celebrate the holidays with a living Christmas tree, without the waste or hassle. Our tree rental program lets you choose a beautiful, healthy tree to take home for the season, then return it to us once the celebrations are over so it can continue to grow for years to come.
Each tree is carefully nurtured throughout the year, ensuring it’s vibrant, fragrant, and ready to shine when you bring it home. After the holidays, you simply bring your tree back to the farm, where we place it in our field and care for it until next Christmas. Some families even choose the same tree year after year, watching it grow right alongside their own traditions.
From helping you find the perfect tree to welcoming it back after the season, we handle every step with care and attention.

How do I rent a tree? That’s the easy part! Complete the online reservation process, and reserve your time to pick up the tree. We accept all major credit/debit cards. Once the order is confirmed, your tree will be reserved and prepared for pick up.
Can I rent more than one tree? Absolutely! We currently only have one additional tree for add on. Please contact us if you would like to reserve more than two trees.

Can I cancel an order? Yes. we offer cancellation and refund options. Make sure to check our terms or service in the rental agreement for details. Remember, once the tree has left the nursery, fees can still be applicable.
Can I buy the tree instead of returning it? No. Our trees have received special care and investment to be utilized as a rental for its time with us. As we grow, someday we hope to “retire” and sell trees that are too large for rental; however at this time it is not an option.

How much/ often do I need to water the tree?
We recommend watering once a day during your rental period. For our small trees, we recommend about a cup of water each day.Can I use ice on the soil instead of water? Yes! The ice melts slowly to allow the water to soak the roots more deeply and prevents spills as well.
Can I trim or cut branches from the tree or remove it from its pot? NO. Our trees must be returned in the same condition as they were picked up. See rental agreement for more details.
What kinds of lights and decorations can I use? You are welcome to use any ornaments that you would use on any tree. However, tinsel and flocking is not permitted, as trees use their needles to breathe and will harm the tree. Additionally, lights must be LEDs as they do not produce heat and will not harm your tree. Traditional lights will damage the tree. See rental agreement for more details.
Do I need to place the tree in specific areas of my home? We recommend placing the tree near a source of natural light, and away from heating units or fireplaces.
Can I cover the pot? We provide decorative pot covers for you to choose from with your tree rental. You are welcome to use your own decorative pot cover at home; however, the tree must remain in it’s original pot, with the roots left undisturbed. We recommend having a saucer or other plastic water catcher to protect surfaces from excess water that may not be absorbed by the tree.
Can I put the tree outdoors? Absolutely! Please make sure it’s in an area where it won't be easily stolen or damaged. It will still need water each day!
What do I do if I notice something wrong with my tree? Reach out to us immediately. We will help you resolve the issue.
