Our take

Bottoms Christmas Tree Farm is one of the most thoroughly documented farms in this entire research batch, and it’s worth naming directly why: the 2026 season dates (November 21 through December 19), the full hours schedule, and the choose-and-cut pricing all come straight from the farm’s own current website, not from a secondary aggregator or a description of a prior season. That’s a genuinely different level of certainty than most of the farms researched alongside it.

The pricing is clear, but only for one of two products

Choose-and-cut field trees, 4 to 11 feet tall, are priced at a flat $10 per foot, confirmed directly on the farm’s site. That’s simple, honest arithmetic anyone can do before arriving: a 6-foot tree runs $60, an 8-foot tree runs $80, using only the farm’s own stated rate. Over 5,000 choose-and-cut trees are reportedly in the fields, so there’s real inventory to choose from. But that per-foot rate applies specifically to the field-grown trees, not to the pre-cut Fraser firs the farm also sells, which are trucked in from North Carolina growers, run mostly 6 to 11 feet with some over 12 feet, and are priced individually and separately. If a pre-cut Fraser fir specifically is what you’re after, ask the price on that tree directly rather than assuming the $10/foot field rate carries over — it doesn’t, per the farm’s own description.

The saw is provided, the effort is still yours

The farm’s own phrasing on this is worth quoting directly for how plainly it sets expectations: “we provide the saw, you provide the saw power.” You won’t need to bring a tool, but you should expect to do real physical work getting the tree down. Leashed pets are explicitly welcome on the property, a detail not commonly addressed at other farms in this research batch.

Real activities with real, stated prices

A hayride runs to walking trails with farm animals for a flat $3 per rider — another rare instance in this batch of an actual dollar figure straight from the source rather than an unpublished detail. Hot apple cider with marshmallows and a “Santa Snack Shack” selling jams and jellies round out the on-site offerings. Santa himself is on-site for free photos, but only on three specific mornings — November 21, 28, and December 5, from 10am to 1pm — not as a standing weekend fixture, so plan around those dates specifically if a Santa photo matters.

Hours that change after the opening rush

Thanksgiving week runs extended hours, Monday through Saturday 9am-6pm. After that, the schedule tightens to Monday-Friday 3-6pm and Saturday 9am-6pm, with the farm closed entirely on Sundays. That Sunday closure is worth double-checking against your own schedule before planning a weekend trip.

The honest bottom line

Bottoms Christmas Tree Farm gives you as close to a fully confirmed visit as any farm in this research batch — real dates, real hours, a real per-foot price, and a real hayride fee — with the one catch being that the confirmed $10/foot rate applies only to the choose-and-cut field trees, not the separately priced pre-cut North Carolina Fraser firs.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

The farm's own site confirms the 2026 season runs November 21 through December 19. Thanksgiving week runs extended hours (Mon-Sat 9am-6pm); after that it's Mon-Fri 3-6pm and Sat 9am-6pm, closed Sundays. Santa is on-site for free photos only on three specific Saturday mornings: Nov 21, Nov 28, and Dec 5, 10am-1pm.

How long to budget

Not stated directly, but with a $3/rider hayride out to walking trails with farm animals, cutting your own tree, and a snack shack, this reads as a multi-hour outing on a weekend rather than a five-minute stop.

Crowds

Not stated directly, but Thanksgiving week's extended hours and the three scheduled Santa mornings (Nov 21, 28, Dec 5) are reasonable candidates for the busiest days of the season, since they combine the season's opening rush with a specific, publicized draw.

Parking

Strollers and accessibility

What to bring

  • $10 per foot in mind for choose-and-cut field trees (4'-11'), since that rate is confirmed directly from the farm
  • $3 per rider if you want the hayride out to the animal trails
  • Your own saw power — the farm states 'we provide the saw, you provide the saw power,' meaning the tool is supplied but the cutting effort is yours
  • A leash for your pet, since leashed pets are explicitly welcome

How to spend less here

  • A 7-foot choose-and-cut tree at the confirmed $10/foot rate works out to $70 for the tree itself, using only the farm's own stated rate and simple per-foot arithmetic — actual sizes and the exact tree you pick will change that number
  • Pre-cut Fraser firs trucked in from North Carolina (mostly 6'-11', some 12'+) are priced individually and separately from the $10/foot field rate, so know which product you want before you start cutting to avoid a size/price surprise
  • The hayride is a flat $3 per rider, not a per-tree or per-group charge, per the farm's own site

Who it suits

Good for

  • Visitors who want a clear, confirmed $10-per-foot rate for choose-and-cut trees rather than an unpublished pricing structure
  • Families wanting a specific Santa photo morning — Nov 21, 28, or Dec 5, 10am-1pm — rather than a guess at when Santa might show up
  • Anyone bringing a leashed pet, since the farm explicitly welcomes them
  • Groups who want a $3/rider hayride to walking trails with farm animals

Skip it if

Skip Bottoms if you're hoping to visit on a Sunday, since the farm is closed that day, and skip the choose-and-cut field if you specifically want a taller, more mature Fraser fir look, since those are trucked in pre-cut from North Carolina and priced separately from the $10/foot field trees.
