Frequently Asked Questions

We are now closed for tree sales.

We invite you to our family friendly farm where you can choose and cut your own Christmas Tree at your leisure. We provide saws to cut your tree, a rope to help pull it back to the sales barn, friendly instruction on where to find your tree, a beautiful setting on the slope of the Blue Ridge from which to view the Loudoun Valley below and wreaths for sale from our own greens. Included in your tree purchase, we shake your tree clean and bale it tight for easy transport. We have plenty of heavy duty twine to help tie your tree to your vehicle, but BUNGEE CORDS or other tie-down straps are strongly recommended! Please note that we do not tie trees onto cars. Kids love the opportunity to run around the trees and have free form fun! We also sell multi-purpose cam straps that are excellent for tying a tree to your car top and many other uses. 

Our specialty trees for 42 years have been Mountain Slow Grown Douglas Fir and Colorado Blue Spruce. 

All of our Mountain Slow Grown Douglas Fir and Colorado Blue Spruce up to 7 feet are the same price, taller trees are priced at the sales barn. Click on the "Prices/Map" link for our current year farm map and pricing information.  Please note that ALL trees up to 7' tall are priced at the same price.  We do NOT sell small trees at a lower price.

Simple - after parking, walk up to the red shack and get a map, saw, and a rope to pull your tree. Once you find and cut down your tree, bring it back to the sales barn where we will tag your tree with your initials, then shake your tree clean, bale it tight for easy transport, and price it for you. In the sales barn we have a variety of local goods for sale as well as our wreaths made on-site from our own greens. Once you've purchased your tree and any other items, we'll load up your tree on the tractor and take it back down to the parking area, or you can walk it down yourself.

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

When you arrive at the farm, we provide you with a map of the farm, a saw to cut down your tree and a rope to help pull your tree; you are welcome to bring your own saw. Chain saws, saws-alls, hatchets and axes are expressly prohibited.

Large groups of more than 3 vehicles or 15 people intending to purchase trees are required to contact Steven at (540) 554-8323 at least 2 days before they plan on visiting the farm.  Any buses or large vans are also required to speak with Steven before scheduling a trip.  We do not allow picnics or ceremonies of more than one hour starting the day after Thanksgiving through the second weekend of December, no exceptions.  No tailgating of any kind is permitted in this time frame.

Bring gloves to handle your tree, and warm clothing as necessary... the weather and particularly snow conditions can vary significantly from what exists in the city. Bungee cords or tie-down straps make it extremely easy to secure your tree to your vehicle in a few minutes. Some people like to bring a plastic tarp on which to pull their tree, it ensures a smoother, cleaner ride for the tree.

We have a large gravel based parking area for easy parking and access to your car regardless of weather. If snow is in the forecast and you have All-Wheel or 4-Wheel drive, please bring that vehicle to make movement into the farm more easy and guarantee smooth travel to, from and within the farm.

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

If you come during the week, we can assist single moms and seniors in need of assistance in finding, cutting and bringing your tree to the sales barn. On weekends, we are not able to assist.  If you are coming to get a large 10 ft or taller tree, bring your own muscle as we cannot assist on weekends.  Plan on needing 3 or 4 strong men to bring in a 11 foot tall Colorado Blue Spruce.

If you can come during the week, we are not as busy and some families with small children and other adults enjoy the quiet atmosphere. We stay open until dark every day, so families can come to the farm after school with plenty of time to select a tree. Historically, the first weekend in December is our busiest time.

Your tree will easily last through New Year's Day if you give it plenty of water! If you are not going to set up your tree for several days or longer after bringing it home, put it into water in a cool spot out of direct sunlight. If your tree is not put into water for several hours after cutting, just before you set it up, cut about one inch off of the trunk to allow the vascular system of the tree to absorb water. We recommend using only water, no additives. Recent research indicates that continuously leaving on white LED christmas tree lights can increase needle retention on your tree.

Depending on weather, the type of tree, and the height, anywhere from 8-14 years. We plant the trees as either 3 or 4 year old seedlings, have the kids count the rings on the trunk to determine it's age!

On weekends we offer delicious hot dogs and hot soft pretzels at the Snack Shack in the main barn, and they also have hot chocolate, cider, candy, and soft drinks for sale. Don't forget to visit The Shack!

Yes, we have portable restrooms.

We accept cash,  Apple & Google Pay and all major credit cards.

Customers are encouraged to take as many photos of themselves, family and trees as they like during our sales season.

For commercial photographers seeking to bring clients to the farm in 2023, we require a payment of $500 prior to entry into the farm. You’re then generally welcome to bring clients through through Wednesday, November 22nd.  After that, no commercial photography is permitted.  We accept Venmo and Apple Pay in advance, credit cards and cash in person.  We are limiting the total number of photographers to 20 this year, last year we sold out those slots by mid September. We look forward to seeing our photographers and families at the farm this season!
