If you can come during the week, we're not as busy, and some families with small children enjoy the quiet. We stay open until dark every day, so families can come after school with plenty of time to choose a tree. Historically, the last weekend in November is our busiest time.

No, dogs and other pets are not allowed on our farm. Please leave them home for your visit.

Gloves to handle your tree, and warm clothing. The weather, and snow in particular, can be very different here from the city. Bungee cords or tie-down straps make it easy to secure your tree to your vehicle in a few minutes. Some people bring a plastic tarp to pull their tree on, which gives it a smoother, cleaner ride.

We have a large gravel parking area for easy parking in any weather. If snow is in the forecast and you have an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle, please bring it for smooth travel to, from and within the farm.

No, we do not allow any vehicles into the fields at any time.

Yes, we have portable restrooms.

Our specialty is Mountain Slow Grown Douglas Fir and Colorado Blue Spruce.

All of our Douglas Fir and Colorado Blue Spruce up to 7 feet are the same price. Taller trees are priced at the sales barn. We do not sell small trees at a lower price.

Same price for Douglas Fir and Colorado Blue Spruce. Any small tree from 1 to 7 ft is $174, so please don't cut our small trees. Taller trees are priced at the sales barn. Prices subject to change. All sales final.

Cash, Apple Pay, Google Pay and all major credit cards.

Your tree will easily last through New Year's Day if you give it plenty of water. If you won't set it up for several days after bringing it home, keep it in water in a cool spot out of direct sunlight.

If your tree hasn't been in water for several hours since cutting, cut about an inch off the trunk just before you set it up, so it can absorb water again. We recommend plain water, no additives. Research indicates that leaving white LED lights on in your tree can help needle retention.

Depending on weather, the type of tree and the height, anywhere from 8 to 14 years. We plant the trees as 3 or 4 year old seedlings, so have the kids count the rings on the trunk to find its age!

After parking, walk up to the red shack and get a map, a saw and a rope to pull your tree. Once you find and cut your tree, bring it to the sales barn, where we tag it with your initials, shake it clean, bale it tight for easy transport and price it. The barn has local goods and our wreaths made on site from our own greens. After you pay, we'll load your tree on the tractor and take it down to the parking area, or you can walk it down yourself.

We provide saws, a rope to pull your tree back to the sales barn, friendly directions to find your tree and a beautiful setting on the slope of the Blue Ridge overlooking the Loudoun Valley. Included with your tree, we shake it clean and bale it tight for the ride home.

We have plenty of heavy-duty twine, but bungee cords or tie-down straps are strongly recommended. Please note that we do not tie trees onto cars. We also sell multi-purpose cam straps that work great for tying a tree to your car top.

We give you a farm map, a saw and a rope when you arrive, and you're welcome to bring your own saw. Chain saws, saws-alls, hatchets and axes are not allowed.

During the week, we can help single moms and seniors find, cut and bring in their tree. On weekends we're not able to assist. If you're coming for a large tree, 10 feet or taller, bring your own muscle: it takes 3 or 4 strong people to bring in an 11-foot Colorado Blue Spruce.

Yes, we do.

On weekends the Snack Shack in the main barn makes hot dogs and hot soft pretzels, with hot chocolate, cider, candy and soft drinks for sale. Don't forget to visit The Shack!

Groups of more than 3 vehicles or 12 people planning to buy trees need to call Steven at (540) 554-8323 at least 2 days before visiting. Buses and large vans also need to speak with Steven before scheduling a trip. We don't allow picnics or ceremonies, and no tailgating of any kind, because parking is limited.

Customers who buy a tree are welcome to take as many photos of their family and trees as they like during the season.

Commercial photographers bringing clients to the farm in 2026 pay $600 before entry, and are then generally welcome through Wednesday, November 26th. After that, no commercial photography is permitted. We accept Venmo and Apple Pay in advance, and credit cards and cash in person. We limit photographers to 20 this year; last year those slots sold out by mid-September.
