A Fairfield County choose-and-cut farm that only takes cash or check, closes entirely on Sundays, and runs a free kids' train ride for one weekend only at the start of the season.
Cash only. This farm doesn't take cards, based on what we found — bring cash or confirm ahead if that's changed.
Aisles of Christmas Tree Farm, a family-owned choose-and-cut operation in Fairfield County, has two payment-and-schedule details worth knowing before you go that set it apart from most other farms in this research. First, it only accepts cash or check, per the farm’s own Facebook posts — no mention of card payments being accepted, which is worth planning around if you’re used to tapping a card everywhere. Second, it’s closed entirely on Sundays, a stricter schedule than most other farms in this batch, several of which keep at least limited Sunday hours.
The choose-and-cut lineup includes Leyland Cypress and Carolina Sapphire, with pre-cut Fraser Fir also available for anyone who wants that species without walking the field — the familiar pattern across South Carolina farms generally, since true Fraser Fir favors cooler, higher-elevation growing conditions than the Midlands provides. Wreaths are also sold on site, giving a one-stop option if decor is part of your plan.
One activity in the record is worth flagging carefully: a free barrel train ride for kids, offered only during the first weekend of the season. That’s meaningfully different from an activity like a hayride that typically runs every weekend of a farm’s season — if you’re planning a visit specifically because a young kid would enjoy a train ride, you’d need to time your trip to that opening weekend specifically, once the farm announces when the season actually starts. Arriving in mid-December expecting the same activity to still be running isn’t something the record supports.
Monday through Thursday, the farm stays open until 8 pm, which is later than most other Midlands farms in this research — several close by 5:30 or 6 pm on weekday evenings. That gives more flexibility for an after-work visit during the week, even though the farm makes up for it by closing entirely on Fridays’ counterpart, Sunday.
No price_from figure and no price_note exist anywhere in the record for this farm, so no dollar amount can be responsibly given for either the choose-and-cut trees or the pre-cut Fraser Fir. Similarly, no opening or closing date for any season was found in the sources checked, including the farm’s Facebook page, a Bizapedia business listing, an scliving.coop feature on South Carolina tree farms, and the state’s own agritourism page. Given that the free train ride is tied to opening weekend specifically, confirming that date matters more here than at farms where timing is a looser recommendation rather than a hard cutoff for a specific perk.
Aisles of Christmas Tree Farm is a straightforward, cash-and-check choose-and-cut option with a genuinely kid-friendly opening-weekend perk, but between the payment restriction, the Sunday closure, and the lack of any confirmed pricing or dates, calling ahead — 803-718-2800 — is worth doing before you plan the trip around a specific day.
Hours run Monday-Thursday 3-8 pm and Friday-Saturday 9 am-6 pm; the farm is closed Sunday. No season_start or season_end date was found, so 2026 opening timing is unconfirmed, but the free barrel train ride is only offered the first weekend of whatever the season turns out to be.
Not stated directly. With a free barrel train ride only during the season's opening weekend, timing your visit matters more here than at farms where the extras run all season.
Not stated in the record, though closing entirely on Sundays while several other farms in this research keep at least limited Sunday hours may shift some demand onto this farm's other open days.
Not described in the record.
Not addressed in the source.
