A genuinely multi-generational family farm that lets you reserve a tree ahead of time — a rare feature in this directory — though an unconfirmed report of running low on inventory in a past season is worth checking before a December visit.
Gray’s Park Place is run by an unusually large family operation for this directory — two couples, Brent and Julie plus Shawn and Sheila, along with their adult children and grandchildren, are all named as operators in the state forestry directory’s listing. That’s a genuinely multi-generational family farm rather than a marketing phrase, and it’s worth noting as one of the more concrete “family run” claims in this batch.
The listing explicitly states that customers can “come and reserve a tree at any time.” That’s an unusual and useful detail — most choose-and-cut farms in this directory operate on a first-come, first-served basis during open hours, with no mention of holding a specific tree for you in advance. If you’ve spotted a tree you love on an earlier visit, or you’re worried about availability closer to Christmas, calling ahead to ask about reserving one is worth doing here specifically because the farm has said it’s an option.
Beyond the standard cut-your-own experience, ball-and-burlap (live, replantable) trees are also available for an additional charge. No source reviewed states what that additional charge actually is, so this page can’t put a number on it — but the option itself is confirmed, which is more than several other farms in this directory offer.
Hand saws and knee pads are both provided at no cost, alongside tree shaking, mesh baling, and cutting and loading help. Knee pads specifically are a small, practical touch — cutting a tree low to the trunk usually means kneeling in a cold, possibly wet field, and having pads on hand (even borrowed ones) is a detail worth appreciating.
Here’s the honest complication: a general web search during research turned up an undated, secondhand claim that the farm had run low on trees in a recent season. It wasn’t possible to independently confirm this against a primary source, so it’s flagged rather than stated as fact. But it’s specific enough — and plausible enough for a smaller family farm during a busy season — that it changes the practical advice for this listing. If you’re planning to visit in mid-to-late December rather than opening weekend (Nov 27, 2026), call ahead (304-640-4133) and ask directly about current tree availability before you make the drive. Opening weekend itself, and the Fri-Sun stretch immediately around it, carries less of that risk simply because you’d be shopping the season’s freshest inventory.
Opening weekend, Nov 27, 2026 (Fri-Sun), for the widest selection; Saturdays or Sundays through mid-December after that, while supplies last.
Not documented in the record.
Not documented, though hours narrow from three days on opening weekend to just Saturday and Sunday afterward, which may concentrate later-season visitors into a smaller window.
Not documented in the record.
Not documented. Expect a working tree field rather than a paved, accessible lot, as with most choose-and-cut farms.
Skip a late-season visit here without calling first, since one unconfirmed general search result suggested the farm has run low on trees in at least one recent December — worth checking directly rather than risking the drive.
Not documented in this record; other Nicholas County or Mountain Lakes-area farms in this directory may be worth pairing with a visit here.
Yes — the farm's directory listing explicitly states customers can 'come and reserve a tree at any time,' a feature not commonly mentioned elsewhere in this directory.
Yes, a ball-and-burlap option is offered for an additional charge, per the record — though the exact extra cost isn't stated in any source reviewed.
White pine, Canaan fir, and Norway spruce.
Possibly, though it's unconfirmed. A general web search turned up an undated, secondhand note that the farm 'reported being low on trees' in a recent season. It wasn't independently verified, but it's a reasonable enough concern that calling ahead in December is worth doing.
Opens November 27, 2026 (closing date not published). Fri-Sun opening weekend; Sat-Sun thereafter through mid-December while supplies last. Hours: 9 AM-4 PM (Sat/Sun after opening weekend).
Pricing was not published when we last checked.
Yes. It's cut-your-own and choose-and-cut (staff cuts it for you), and a saw is provided.
