The rows upon rows of evergreen trees visible from U.S. Highway 72 and the 306 BBQ and Catering lot is only the tip of the iceberg of Trim-A-Tree Farm.  The family-owned farm is the perfect place to make memories for the whole family.

At Trim-A-Tree Farms you can select a pre-cut Fraser Fir or you can come and pick a Leyland Cypress or Carolina Sapphire to take home fresh from the field.  Trim-A-Tree also gives you the option to cut your own tree.  However, if you'd like them to do all the work, they'll cut, net and load your tree for you.  That includes being shaken -- and interesting process where they rattle the tree to shake out what may have landed, nested or made a home of your new Christmas tree.

When the weather cooperates, your children can enjoy pony rides with the family pony on the weekends.  You'll even find a gift shop on site full of goodies crafted with care for your decorating and gift giving needs.

Bring your camera and record your family's experience taking home one of these evergreen jewels or the kids enjoy the pony.  You might even get enjoy sitting around the fire pit, weather and drought permitting.  You'll definitely go home enjoying your new memories and friends you'll make.

To visit Trim-A-Tree Farm, you'll find them on Line Road just off U.S. Highway 72 next to 306 BBQ and Catering and south of Pepper Road. They're open 9:00AM-5:00PM Monday-Saturday and 12:00PM-5:00PM Sundays. For more information, call (256) 497-0801
