Choose and Cut Christmas Trees – Family Fun on a Family Farm!
What could be a far better way to kick off the Christmas holiday season than loading up the loved ones and taking a day trip to an region Christmas tree farm? Situated in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northwest North Carolina, near the little town of Sparta, there are a lot of Christmas tree farmers that open their fields to the families each and every year.
A typical go to to a tree farm usually consists of no cost hay rides to the fields, marshmallow roasting at the fire pit, and hot chocolate. But by far, the greatest fun can be an unexpected snow! It really can take place. Last year on our tree farm, Reeves Ridge Christmas Trees, we had a lovely snowfall on the initial Saturday in December. Our guests loved it!
The beautiful Fraser fir trees are the primary reason families make the trip to Sparta tree farms each year. They are the classic, fragrant, perfectly shaped Christmas tree. Only the Fraser fir is widely identified for it is superior needle retention. These firs are native to the North Carolina mountains and will last thoughout the holidays if watered often and kept away from direct sources of heat.

If you plan to visit a select and cut farm, please plan ahead for an outdoor encounter. Even in late November the temps have cooled down and brisk winds can be chilling. Dress in layers, wear appropriate footwear, and bring gloves or mittens. You will be trekking in a tree field on a farm. There will be rocks, uneven terrain, and there are hills and valleys.
Soon after you have taken in the spectacular views and selected your tree, the staff at the farm will help you with cutting the tree, or you may use a hand saw and cut it your self! Following choice and cutting, your tree will be taken to the baling region and then loaded on or into your vehicle.
A Christmas tree farmer’s greatest gift is the satisfaction he gets knowing that others will be gathered around a best tree in their own home, enjoying the Christmas seasons’ festivities and celebrations.
Commence your new loved ones tradition this year and visit a genuine Choose and Cut Christmas tree farm in your region for a genuine tree experience! The friendly folks at Reeves Ridge Christmas tree farm in Sparta, NC welcome your go to this year.
