Christmas Tree Farms in Avery County, North Carolina – Choose & Cut
Homemade pecan pie and spiced hot cider are among the many joys of the season, but nothing evokes holiday memories like the aroma of a fresh cut Fraser Fir. For many of us, finding the perfect tree is a much anticipated tradition, marking the start of a festive season. While pre-cut varietals are available at the nearest supermarket and hardware store, tree farms of the NC High Country offer that wholesome family outing of cutting your own holiday evergreen.
Avery County is host to a large number of tree farms offering a choose and cut option, many of which are just a quick drive from Linville Land Harbor. Each farm is a little different—from the trees to the family-friendly activities they provide. Don’t be surprised if Santa makes an appearance at a few of them.
