How to Find Christmas Tree Farms in North Carolina on ncchristmastrees.com

Updated

To find a farm, go to ncchristmastrees.com and use the Tree Search tool. It lets you search by farm type: Choose and Cut, Wholesale, Retail, or Mail Order. Pick the category that matches how you want to buy, and the site returns North Carolina Christmas Tree Association farms in that group.

What the site is

ncchristmastrees.com is the website of the NC Christmas Trees Association. It is a directory and information hub for North Carolina Christmas tree farms, not an online store. You use it to locate growers and learn about the state's Christmas tree industry, then contact or visit the farm directly.

Step-by-step: finding a farm

  1. Open ncchristmastrees.com.
  2. Find the Tree Search section on the page. The site describes it as the place to look for "Choose and Cut, Wholesale, Retail or Mail Order."
  3. Choose the farm type that fits your situation (see the table below).
  4. Review the farms listed for that category and note the ones near you or that ship to you.
  5. Contact the farm directly to confirm hours, availability, and current pricing — the site does not publish prices.

Expected result: a shortlist of North Carolina farms in your chosen category that you can call or visit.

Which farm type should you choose?

Type Best for What to expect
Choose and Cut Families who want to pick and cut their own tree A farm visit; you select the tree in the field
Retail Buyers who want a pre-cut tree from a staffed lot A retail location rather than a field
Wholesale Businesses, lots, and bulk buyers Volume purchasing, typically by arrangement with the grower
Mail Order People who can't visit a farm in person A tree shipped to you

If you're unsure, start with Choose and Cut for a traditional outing, or Retail if you want a quick purchase.

Other sections worth checking

  • Events — keeps you current on association farm events and tree-related happenings.
  • Video Gallery — photos and video of families choosing trees and decorated trees, useful for getting a feel for the farm experience.
  • Education — background on North Carolina Christmas trees and the farmers who grow them.
  • Become a member — for growers who want to join the association, not for tree buyers.

Common snags

  • No prices on the site. The association page doesn't list tree prices, so confirm cost and availability with the farm before you drive out.
  • Search results depend on category. If a farm doesn't appear, try a different type — a grower listed under Wholesale may not show under Choose and Cut.
  • The site is a directory, not a checkout. You can't buy a tree on ncchristmastrees.com; transactions happen with the individual farm.

For a quick start, go straight to Tree Search, pick Choose and Cut or Retail, and contact the nearest farm to confirm details before your visit.
