Frequently Asked Questions

How does the farm work?

The farm is open to the public. We grow our own trees organically, meaning no pesticides or herbicides. When you proceed to the farm, parking is at the back of the building, clearly indicated. You can then walk the nursery at your own pace. All trees are tagged. When you have decided on the tree you want, take half of the tag with you to the office/gift store which is located at the west side of the building, also clearly indicated. You then pay for your tree and we will cut the tree for you or if you prefer to cut it yourself, we have saws available. We will then bale and net your tree and give you twine to safely secure your tree on your car. We will gladly help you with this.

What should I wear and bring?

We suggest that you wear long pants and boots. You will want to bring gloves. You should also bring a towel that you can get it wet at the farm and wrap it around your tree for the drive home. This allows your tree to absorb water while in transport, keeping it as fresh as possible after its been cut.

Do you have trees of this species? And do you have pre-cut trees available?

For now, we only grow our own trees, Virginia Pines as they seem to do well in this North Texas climate. As the demand for fresh Christmas Trees seems to considerably grow every year, we might consider at one point of having pre cut trees of different species available for our customers in addition to our home grown ones.

Do you have trees of this size?

Our organic homegrown trees available for purchase range from 5ft to 12ft + tall.

Do you have wagon rides available?

We do not have wagon rides but we do have a "hay station" for the kids.

How are trees priced?

Each tree is priced accordingly with a tag. We price the trees individually based on the height and overall quality of the tree. The size of our trees are ranging from anywhere between from 4ft to 12ft +. The price you see on the tag includes the tax. The trees range from anywhere between $120 to $300. In honor of your support, we offer a 10% discount (before tax) to military members & first responders (ID required).

Typically local, 100% organic farm products cost more than trees grown fast with concentrated fertilizers, sprayed with toxic chemicals (the cheapest and easiest way to deal with weeds, pests, and diseases), or grown elsewhere with low cost labor and shipped in by truck. Our 100% organic Christmas trees support the local community and keep your living room safe from the harmful pesticides.

The price of our trees also includes the true family time experience to a local Texas farm. You will enjoy the beautiful area of North Texas and our majestic true Texas Longhorns. It also includes the freshness of the organically grown tree, baling and handling, and of course hot cocoa. We will also assist you with tying your tree on your car.
