A small, cash-only, weekend-only family farm with real published pricing and a genuinely narrow season window — plan your one or two visit days carefully, because there aren't many of them.
$90 to $160 including tax, for 6–8 foot trees (2025 season, per Kentucky Christmas Tree Association member page).
Cash only. This farm doesn't take cards, based on what we found — bring cash or confirm ahead if that's changed.
Bill and Fredda Moody have run this small choose-and-cut operation for 38 years, and everything about the record suggests a deliberately modest, family-scale farm rather than one built for high volume. That’s worth knowing going in: this isn’t a farm with a gift shop, a hayride, and a concession stand. It’s a field, two tree species, and a couple of open weekends in December.
Historically, Christmas Memories has opened just two weekends in December: Saturdays from 9am to dark, Sundays from 2pm to dark. That’s four open days total across the entire season, based on what’s documented here. Compare that to farms in this directory that stay open for weeks at a stretch, and the calculus changes — you don’t have the luxury of “we’ll go whenever works.” If this farm is on your list, figure out which specific Saturday or Sunday you can make it, because there’s no guarantee of a third weekend to fall back on.
This is one of the few farms in this batch with real, sourced pricing: $90 to $160, including tax, spanning the 6 to 8 foot size range. That’s a genuinely useful number to plan around — a 6-footer sits at the lower end of that range, while an 8-footer runs toward the top. Because tax is already folded into the quoted figures, what you see is closer to what you’ll actually pay at checkout, which isn’t true everywhere. The one thing this pricing doesn’t cover is anything beyond the tree itself — no netting, stand, or extras are mentioned, so budget those as separate small purchases if you need them.
The record specifies cash or check, with no card option mentioned anywhere. For a farm this size, that’s not unusual, but it’s the kind of detail that ruins a trip if you forget it — plan to bring enough cash to cover a tree in your target size range before you leave the house, since there’s no indication of an ATM or card backup on-site.
Both Canaan fir and white pine are sold choose-and-cut, and the farm provides saws and twine, plus staff help loading the tree into your vehicle. That means you don’t need to bring your own tools, but you should still expect to do some of the physical work of finding and cutting the tree yourself, which is the standard trade-off of a choose-and-cut visit versus buying pre-cut.
The honest read: this is a real, long-running family operation with unusually solid pricing data for this batch, but its narrow open days and cash-only policy mean a little extra planning goes a long way here.
Historically just two weekends in December, Saturdays 9am to dark and Sundays 2pm to dark — a short window, so don't wait past the first weekend if you want good selection.
Not documented, but the short Sunday window (starting at 2pm) means you should plan a Sunday visit for the early afternoon rather than assuming an all-day option.
Not documented directly, but a two-weekend season concentrated into just four open days total suggests those days — especially the first Saturday — could see more traffic relative to how few chances there are to visit.
Not documented in the record.
Not documented.
Skip this one if you can't visit on one of the two weekends the farm has historically been open, or if you don't have cash or a check on hand, since no card payment option is documented.
Located off Keene Road (Highway 1267), about 1.4 miles from the Harrodsburg Road/Military Road intersection — close enough to combine with other Lexington-area farms in this directory if you want a backup option in case Christmas Memories' short season doesn't align with your schedule.
$90 to $160, including tax, for trees in the 6 to 8 foot range, according to a 2025-season Kentucky Christmas Tree Association listing. This is not independently confirmed by the farm's own website, since none was found.
Yes, based on the record — cash and check only, with no card payment mentioned.
Historically Saturdays from 9am to dark and Sundays from 2pm to dark, across just two weekends in December — a short season, so plan accordingly.
