Bluestone Tree Farm

Our take

Bluestone is the oldest continuously family-owned farm in this batch by founding date — 1963, according to a WVNS-TV news story and local business listings — and it has a genuinely uncommon schedule to go with that history: it’s open all seven days of the week during the season, 9 AM to 5 PM, rather than the weekends-only or limited-weekday pattern most farms in this directory follow.

Every day, not just weekends

That daily schedule is worth calling out on its own. Most cut-your-own farms concentrate their hours into Friday-through-Sunday windows, which pushes almost all their traffic into a handful of days per week and makes the first Saturday after Thanksgiving the busiest stretch of the entire season. A farm open every day naturally spreads that same demand across more hours — a reasonable inference, not a documented crowd count, but a real structural difference worth knowing if you’re trying to avoid a Saturday crush. If your work schedule only allows a Tuesday afternoon trip, this is one of the few farms on this list where that’s actually an option.

What’s growing, and what’s included

Canaan fir and Norway spruce are the headline species, with a smaller number of other firs, spruces, and pines rounding out the selection, per research notes. On-site extras include snacks, drinks, and hot chocolate for sale, plus hand saws, tie-down cord, and use of a tree baler all provided free of charge. As with most farms in this record, no price figure was found in any source reviewed — not a starting number, not a note — so under this site’s honesty rule, no dollar amount belongs on this page. What’s provided free is genuinely useful information on its own; what it costs to get there is something you’ll need to ask about directly.

A name worth double-checking

Here’s the one genuine oddity in this record: sources don’t agree on what to call this farm. The state forestry directory lists Dave Stevens as operator under the name “Bluestone Tree Farm.” A WVNS-TV feature and separate West Virginia tourism listings refer to the same Camp Creek location as “Bluestone Nursery” and, in one case, “Bailey Tree Farm at the Bluestone Nursery.” It’s entirely possible this is a multi-generational operation with more than one name attached to different parts of the business, or a nursery-and-tree-farm combination under shared ownership — but nothing in the sources reviewed resolves it cleanly. Rather than pick one name and present it as settled, this record flags the discrepancy. If you’re calling ahead (304-960-5485) or asking a neighbor for directions, be ready for any of the three names to come up.

Season timing

The 2025 season ran Thanksgiving through Dec 15, and this record maps that same window onto 2026 — Nov 26 through Dec 15 — as an educated projection rather than a confirmed date. If those dates hold, this is also one of the few farms in this batch with an actual closing date rather than an open-ended “while supplies last,” which makes it easier to plan a visit with confidence toward the tail end of the season.
