Sorghum Mill Christmas Tree and Blackberry Farm 

When was the tree farm started and how large is it? 

My father, who was an avid arborist, and I started the tree farm in 1977. We planted our first evergreens to be cultivated for Christmas trees in 1982. The Edmond farm which I now own and manage consists of approximately 45 acres of Christmas trees, 25 acres of landscape trees, and four acres of blackberries. The farm’s first rotation had 250 trees and has now grown to thousands per year. 

What are some of the Christmas tree varieties you offer? 

Fresh Noble, Nordmann, Grand, and Douglas fir trees are available. Also we grow Virginia, Scotch, Austrian, Loblolly, and White pines, Leyland and Blue Ice cypress for customers’ harvesting. 

Do visitors get to select their own Christmas trees? 

Yes. Sorghum Mill is open for families to come and find the perfect tree for their holiday celebration. People are looking for an experience when it comes to choosing a tree and usually want to harvest it themselves. I really enjoy watching children running through the trees, seeing people being joyful and full of the holiday spirit as they hunt for their trees.

Do you wrap and load the trees for customers? 

Yes. Once a tree is selected, it is shaken, netted, drilled, and loaded. 

What other holiday décor do you offer? 

We have beautiful fresh wreaths, garland, door swags, and mantle pieces. Tree stands, preservative, and disposal bags are available. Customers enjoy free refreshments while shopping. 

Do you assist customers in harvesting their trees? 

Yes, we provide bow saws for people wanting to cut down their own tree and will assist them in doing so if desired. Transporting trees from the field to the processing area is available. 

What other trees do you offer for sale throughout the year? 

We offer the public a large variety of deciduous and evergreen trees grown on the farm for spring and fall landscape plantings. 

When can visitors come and pick blackberries? 

From June to mid-July, families love coming to the farm to pick their own blackberries, offering another opportunity for families to create lasting memories they will cherish for years. 

Sorghum Mill Christmas Tree Farm is located at 7121 Midwest Lane in Edmond. It is open for the holiday season from the Friday after Thanksgiving on weekdays 1-7 pm and weekends 10am-7pm.
