Christmas Tree Traditions

Interested in finding and felling a tree on your own? For many families, hand-picking a fresh tree at one of NC’s many Christmas tree farms is a beloved tradition. In addition to picturesque scenery and the rich, fragrant aroma of real trees, the farm experience often includes tasty hot cocoa and fun activities such as hayrides.

To find choose-and-cut farms, you can search by county or region at ncfarmfresh.com.
