The 2024 Season

Yes! We have complimentary cocoa & cider for tree customers on all opening days (both are Nana Jo Ann's recipes, so you know they're delicious!)

Yes! We have wreaths ranging in size from itty bitty to extra large. White Pine roping will be available in 25-foot rolls.

We accept cash, check, and credit card. Cash or check is faster since they are not dependent on our often spotty internet.

Yes! The winery is open daily from 12pm-5pm. We recommend tree first, then wine. Your ceilings become "taller" if done in the opposite order......we speak from experience.

Yes! Tie-on service is included in your tree price. Just remember: if you want a big tree, bring a big vehicle! Keep in mind as trees go up in height, they also get wider and heavier.

Yes, we bring premium fresh-cut trees from other farms and display them in our barn yard. This is a great option if you're in a hurry, and need an experience with better accessibility.

Unfortunately we no longer allow you to cut your own tree with your own saw. As we've grown as a farm, it is difficult for us to manage this safely, as well as make sure trees that aren't supposed to be cut, aren't cut. If this is an important part of your experience, we encourage you to seek out other farms in our area! Every farm has different policies.

We do not allow pre-tagging trees because we cannot guarantee that your tag will stay put. Unlike many other Christmas Tree farms in our area, our farm is accessible to the public every day due to the winery, and this creates too many opportunities for a tag to get changed or go missing.

No, only trees with colored tags are available for cutting within each season. This helps make sure we have trees in a diversity of sizes for many seasons to come. We also make these decisions based on the growing patterns on our farm to make sure each tree has the proper amount of wiggle room for future growth.

We encourage people to think of it as an all day experience if you are coming on one of our busier days, such as a weekend, but especially the Friday, Saturday, & Sunday after Thanksgiving. If cars are parked beyond the normal bounds of our parking lot, you can expect everything to take longer. There will be a line at the hayride, you may wave your pole for 30 minutes before a staff member is able to come cut your tree, and you may wait in line to pay for your tree. We thank you in advance for your patience, and hope you can make fun family memories, even in the moments of waiting.

Between steep slopes, tree stumps, and muddy ground, the tree fields can sometimes be difficult to navigate. On non-busy days such as Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays, a person with limited accessibility can ride in the ATV that we use to transport trees around the property. This option is not available on busy days, and we do not allow people who are not employed by us to drive into the tree field with their own vehicle. We have premium, fresh-cut trees available in our barn yard, which is more accessible than our tree fields.

This is a case-by-case thing, but if there is significant rain or snow, we will close the farm for the day. Check our live updates box at the top of the page for up-to-date information.

Yes, photographers are welcome to use our tree farm as a backdrop! No need to schedule anything, you can simply come during our open hours. This also includes winery open hours before and after the tree farm season! For less crowds, we recommend avoiding the weekend after Thanksgiving, since those are our busiest days of the season. Since you won't be able to drive a vehicle into the tree field, it's best to keep any props minimal.

We do not have root-dug trees available at our choose-n-cut. There may be other farms in our area you could check with, but it is becoming a less-common offering at many farms because Fraser fir require specific growing conditions. They won't survive below 2,500 feet elevation and struggle as they get into USDA zone 7 and beyond. Many of our customers are visitors from Charlotte or South Carolina area, so it's not an offering we have here. However, if you're in the mountain region and want to give it a shot, definitely reach out to other farms and see if it's something they offer.

Yes! We just ask that your furry friends are kept on a leash at all times, for their safety.

Bramble Media is hosting a fundraiser Saturday, November 23rd, from 1-4 PM at our farm to raise money for Avery County families in need in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. These will be Mini Christmas Tree Portrait Sessions and 100% of the proceeds go directly to “Build Back Avery” You can register for a photo session here!

There is still lots of infrastructure under repair post-Helene, but also many roads that are back to normal function! We have made a map that we will continue to update and things may change, and you can see that map by scrolling to the bottom of the page here.

We have a whole page dedicated to that here!
