It starts as a seed

Ten years before it’s your tree.

Every tree we sell was planted by us, on this farm, and trimmed by hand every summer of its life. The pole is the one we hand you at the store: colored bands mark the feet.

The Saturday before Thanksgiving

Opening day feels like a holiday of its own.

Grab a measuring pole at the store, the one with the colored bands, and go find the tallest tree your ceiling will forgive. Kids hold the pole, parents count the bands, and someone always argues for one more foot. Tag it, and our crew cuts it, shakes it, bales it and ties it to the roof while you warm up by the bonfire with a hot chocolate.

Then there is the store, which deserves its own chapter. Keep scrolling.

Inside the Christmas store

Hot chocolate, handmade ornaments, and a mailbox for Santa.

Find your tree, then thaw out. The store is where the day slows down.

Warm up

Hot chocolate, local coffee and apple cider, with cookies and popcorn to go with them. The bonfire outside is for anyone waiting on a tree.

Take something home

Handmade ornaments and gifts, most of them made nearby. Farm hats, hoodies and tees with the badge on them.

Letters to Santa

Bring a letter, or write one at the counter, and drop it in the red mailbox. Santa reads every one, and if you leave a return address he has been known to write back.

Hand-tied the same week they hang on your door.

Every wreath starts as Fraser Fir cut from our own rows. Door swags, classic 24-inch wreaths with a velvet bow, or something big enough for a barn gable. Custom and wholesale orders welcome.

Our family, since 1999

We bought this land to raise kids on it. The trees came later.

Chickens, turkeys, hogs and cattle all had their turn. Fraser Fir is the one that stuck. Two generations work the farm now, and the 1951 Dodge in the rows has been in the family for more than fifty years.

Good to know

Questions families ask.

Saws, dogs, prices and how long it takes.

When are you open?
Both locations open the Saturday before Thanksgiving and close the Sunday before Christmas. The farm in Floyd is open Friday through Sunday, 9 am to 5 pm. The lot on Route 220 is open every day, 9 am to 9 pm. Weather closures are posted on Facebook and Instagram.
Do I need to bring a saw?
No. We hand you a saw at the farm if you want to cut your own, but most families prefer that we cut it for them, and we are delighted to do it. Either way our crew shakes, bales and helps load your tree.
How do I know how tall a tree is?
Pick up a measuring pole at the store on your way into the rows. The colored bands near the top mark the feet, so you can hold it against a tree and know it fits your ceiling before anyone picks up a saw. Tag the tree and we take it from there.
How long does it take?
Most families spend about an hour: a walk through the rows, the cut, a hot chocolate by the bonfire while we bale, and a look around the store.
Are dogs welcome?
Friendly, leashed dogs are welcome at both locations. Ours will probably come say hello.
How much does a tree cost?
Prices depend on species and height. Call 540-525-8444 for this season’s price list.
What payment do you take?
Cash and cards.
Can I book a photo session on the farm?
Yes. Photographers book mini sessions in the rows each fall, and the red 1951 Dodge and the sleigh make great backdrops. Email us with your dates.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes. We supply trees, wreaths and garland to lots, retailers, churches and businesses. See the Wholesale page
