A transparent, pre-cut-only Fraser fir farm near Bowling Green with real published pricing and a bonfire with free hot chocolate — honest that its own trees aren't mature yet, so don't expect choose-and-cut here.
$75 to $220 depending on tree size (2025 season, per farm's own website).
Bare Creek Farm is refreshingly direct about where it stands as a business: its own website states plainly that while its planted trees are still growing, it will be selling pre-cut trees this year instead. That’s the kind of honesty this whole directory tries to reward rather than paper over, and it sets clear expectations before you make the drive — this is not yet a choose-and-cut farm, whatever it may become once its own Fraser fir matures.
Unlike many farms in this batch where pricing had to be pieced together from third-party reviews or aggregator guesses, Bare Creek’s $75 to $220 range comes directly from the farm’s own website describing the 2025 season. That’s a genuinely useful number: a $75 tree and a $220 tree are clearly serving different needs — probably a smaller tabletop-adjacent size at the low end and a large statement tree at the high end — so you have a real basis for matching your budget to a size before you even leave the house. That kind of direct, farm-sourced pricing is worth calling out specifically, since it’s rarer in this batch than you’d expect.
Beyond the tree itself, Bare Creek offers a bonfire area with complimentary hot chocolate — a nice, no-extra-cost touch while you’re browsing the pre-cut lot for the right size and shape. There’s no mention of a gift shop, hayrides, or Santa visits, so this reads as a more focused, tree-and-bonfire kind of stop rather than a full agritourism destination.
One practical tip drawn directly from the farm’s own materials: Bare Creek actively promotes its presence on Facebook and Instagram, including a specific hashtag (#ChristmasAtBareCreek), which suggests the farm treats social media as its more current source of season updates. If the website’s opening date or hours feel out of date by the time you’re planning your visit, checking those social accounts — or calling 270-202-3328 — is likely to get you more current information than the site alone.
Bare Creek is one of the more straightforwardly useful listings in this batch: real pricing from the farm itself, a clear (if temporary) pre-cut-only policy honestly stated, and a pleasant bonus in the free hot chocolate. The season’s closing date isn’t documented, so if you’re planning a visit later in December, a quick check of the farm’s social media is worth the extra minute before you go.
Opens the day after Thanksgiving (2026-11-27), based on the 2025 opening date of Friday, November 28 falling the day after that year's Thanksgiving. No closing date is documented, so check social media or call for how long the run lasts.
Not documented, but a pre-cut-only lot typically means a quicker visit than a choose-and-cut field walk.

Skip this one if you specifically want to cut your own tree in the field — the farm is explicit that its own planted trees aren't mature yet, so it sells pre-cut Fraser fir only for now.

Not currently. The farm's own website states that while its trees are still growing, it will be selling pre-cut trees this year — meaning choose-and-cut isn't yet available, though it may become an option in future seasons as the farm's own stock matures.
