We are a family choose-and-cut Christmas Tree farm nestled right near the TN/NC state line in Elk Park, NC.  We have two farms available for your families to explore to find the perfect Christmas tree.   We believe having a real Christmas tree is a special part of the season and a great way to make a family tradition.  We realize Christmas trees can be found everywhere (and even in a box!), but we make every effort to make this a special experience that can’t be found elsewhere.  We offer complimentary popcorn, hot chocolate, and hot cider to your family as part of our experience. 

 

We hope our customers find more than just a convenient location to pick a Christmas tree.  We hope they find a family-owned and operated business with friendly, hard-working staff who make every effort to help them find the trees, wreaths, roping, décor, and a selection of gifts to start off the Christmas season.  

 

 

Back for 2026!  This will be available Saturday October 17 (12-5 p.m. ) and Sunday, October 18 (12-5 p.m.).  Families may visit either the Ellis Family Farm or the Orchard Family Farm on these dates to choose a tree with fewer crowds, milder temperatures, and beautiful fall colors. 

For our Choose Now- Cut Later option, we will provide a tag and ribbon to secure the tree so we can find it later when you are ready to have it harvested. When you are ready for your tree closer to Christmas, give us a call one day ahead, and we will have it ready for pickup when you arrive. You will pay at pickup and avoid waiting on busy days to have the tree cut. We encourage any family planning to get a tree over 11′ to consider Choose Now, Cut Later for best availability and to save time on our busy days.
