The 2020 Holiday Season
Welcome to our farm. Twenty-six years and counting!
This year has certainly been an interesting one. We are committed to keeping calm and staying organized in order to continue a tradition of wonderful holiday memories for all our families.
Our farm is following NCDHHS guidelines for Fall-Related Events, based on the Governor's current Executive Order. One of the primary changes this year is Reservations will be Required (at no fee) to visit the farm during Thanksgiving weekend (11/27-29) and the following weekend (Dec 5-6). Due to the governor's order for mass gatherings, we will need to control the number of guests that are visiting during the same time frame. Please also note that on days that don't require a reservation, we will continue to monitor the number of guests at the farm and may need to temporarily close the farm to stay within guidelines. Also due to the current guidelines, we will not be able to offer our Children's Play Area (bounce house and swings).
On a positive note however, we will be OPEN and offering:
- Fresh cut NC Fraser Firs and White Pine Christmas Trees
- Ball and Burlap trees that can be planted after Christmas
- Table-Top Fraser Firs
- Fresh wreaths made at our farm
- NC White Pine and mixed greenery garland
- Christmas Shop with many locally made items
- Concession stand featuring HOT mini donuts, local apple cider, hot chocolate, and more
- Hayrides as weather permits. Those riding must be in the same social group/family per COVID-19 guidance.
- Photographers and their clients are allowed at our farm. Please see the Photographer page of our website for details.
- New this year - Online ordering (Now closed) and Tent-Side pickup for many of our trees and wreaths. Pickup days are Wed-Thurs, Dec 2-3 from 9am-6pm and Fri, Dec 4 from 9am-1pm ONLY.
- New this year - Special hours for high risk guests (see hours of operation below)
- New this year - SANTA will be visiting the farm. Day(s) and times will be posted on our Facebook page.
The Choose and Cut Field will be closed this year as we are in trying to replenish our supply of these very popular trees. You will see we have made great efforts in filling out our fields with lots of baby trees for families to continue to enjoy in the upcoming years.
Pets are welcome on the farm if on leash and are well trained.
We accept Cash, Credit, and Apple Pay

About Us
A Leap of Faith
Diana and Byron moved from Durham to "the country" in July of 1994 after seeing a wonderful old 1860 built farm house on a great piece of land just south of I-40 in Chatham County. The previous owners, Mike and Jane Harrell, had started a Christmas Tree farm and were moving. Being young and naive we thought that Christmas Tree farming would be a fun hobby. We survived our first Christmas in 1994 with the help of the Harrells and here we are more than 25 years later still growing the farm, making memories with all our wonderful customers and still learning about growing Christmas Trees. Much has changed from the early years and we have been blessed with good fortune, great friends and employees and most importantly a daughter, Khoury, who has been the most blessed gift we could have.
