How are your trees priced?
Prices vary depending on the height and fullness of the tree.


I want a BIGGER Tree!

​Many customers request much larger trees than we keep on the lot.   We can accommodate any tree size request with enough notice.  You may contact us a few days in advance and we will have our grower send it down the mountain for us.  


Do you deliver trees?
Yes, we can deliver locally!  

What should I bring to the farm when I come to choose my tree?
You can bring a tarp or blanket to place on the top of your vehicle in the event you are tying your tree on top of your car for the drive home. It is also recommended that you check the height of your ceilings to make sure you're not selecting a tree that is too tall for your home.  We provide twine for securing your tree to the vehicle however you may bring your own tie downs if you like.

Can I “tag” a tree and then pick it up at a later date?
Yes, it is possible to purchase your tree in advance and arrange pick-up at a later date/time.

Are your Christmas trees treated for aphids?
Yes, our trees are NC Certified Aphid Free. In addition, we use a tree shaker a minimum of two times on every tree before leaving the farm.  

Do you have rope to tie the tree on the vehicle?
We have complimentary twine and will happily secure it to your vehicle.

How long will my tree last after I bring it home?
It is best to put your tree in water as soon as you get home, add tree preservative and consistently give your Christmas tree enough water to never dry out.  Once a tree dries from lack of water, the tree base can quickly seal itself with sap, preventing it from drinking again.

Can I purchase fresh custom-made garland for my home?
Garland is available in the wreath workshop at pre-determined lengths. If you would like to order garland at specific lengths for your home decor we can custom make garland in virtually any size just call or order it in person.
