Oh, Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree –
Where do you get Christmas trees in (around) Charlottesville?
The place where we used to cut ours when I was a kid is now a subdivision.
Here are a few Christmas tree farms where you can cut your own
– Ralph’s Christmas Trees in Nelson County (archived: 2019)
– Foxfire Farm in Buckingham County (archived: 2025)
– Bit-O-Honey Farm in Fishersville (no longer available)
– An aggregate site for pick your own Christmas trees
– Greene Meadows Farm in Greene County (archived: 2026)
– Kris Kringle’s Tree Farm in Nelson County (archived: 2017)
– Skylark Christmas Tree Farm in Nelson (archived: 2020)
– Long Meadow Tree Farm in Augusta County
(The ones in Nelson get my vote as they’re on the Brew Ridge Trail (no longer available))
And here are a few favorites for pre-cut Christmas trees
– The Ivy Store on 250 West
– Boy Scouts’ locations all around town (we frequently get ours in from the ones in Crozet in the Great Valu parking lot)
– AM Fog in Nelson (no longer available) (just before Blue Mountain Brewery on 151)
– In Albemarle Square, they have trees and are a local family that has been selling trees and wreaths for over 100 years
– Mulch Monkeys in Fluvanna
– Charlottesville Whole Foods; apparently they also plant a tree for each one sold!

(I’m also asking this question on my Facebook pages: mine and the RealCrozetVA Facebook page)
