Our take

David Hartman has grown and sold Christmas trees at this Bowling Green-area farm for about 20 years, and the operation has stayed narrowly focused the whole time: white pine, cut your own, nothing else. That simplicity is either exactly what you want or a reason to look elsewhere, depending on whether you had your heart set on a fir or spruce.

One species, real pricing

Unlike several farms in this batch where no price information exists at all, Hartman’s has a documented range: roughly $20 to $50 depending on tree size, according to third-party business listings. That’s toward the lower end of what’s documented across this whole batch of Kentucky farms, which makes sense for a single-species you-cut operation without the overhead of a wider variety or added amenities. The catch is that this figure comes from listings, not a price sheet published by the farm itself, so treat it as a solid planning estimate rather than a locked-in number — a $20–$50 range is wide enough that your actual total could land anywhere in it depending on what size tree you walk out with.

The season window, and where the uncertainty sits

The farm is open Friday through Sunday, 9am to 5pm, described as running “from Thanksgiving until Christmas.” Applied to 2026, that starts November 27. Where the record gets genuinely uncertain is the end date: it’s possible the farm’s last open weekend is the Sunday immediately before Christmas, if the farm doesn’t operate on Christmas Day itself, but nothing confirms that assumption. If you’re hoping to grab a tree in the final days before the holiday, call ahead (270-842-1405) rather than assuming the farm will be open that specific weekend.

Getting there takes a little more than an address

The directions given are more turn-by-turn than a simple street address would suggest: from Bowling Green, take Russellville Road (Highways 68 and 80) toward Russellville, pass under the Natcher Parkway, turn right at the second road onto Old Tram Road, and continue about three-quarters of a mile. That level of detail suggests the farm itself anticipated visitors needing real directions rather than relying on GPS alone — worth having those turns written down or programmed in before you leave, in case cell service or map accuracy is spotty in that stretch.

The bottom line

Hartman’s is a straightforward, no-frills, single-species farm with two decades of history and genuinely useful pricing to plan around — a solid choice if white pine is what you want and you don’t need a gift shop or hayride attached to the visit.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Friday through Sunday, 9am to 5pm, from Thanksgiving weekend (2026-11-27) through the Christmas holiday — the exact final open weekend isn't confirmed, so don't wait until the very last days of the season.

How long to budget

Not documented, though a single-species you-cut farm typically means a simpler, faster visit than one with a wide variety to compare.

Crowds

Not documented directly, though weekend-only hours (Friday through Sunday) concentrated over roughly a month suggest the earliest weekends after Thanksgiving are likely busier than later ones, a reasonable inference from the season length rather than a confirmed crowd report.

Parking

Not documented.

Strollers and accessibility

Not documented.

What to bring

  • A saw isn't confirmed either way in the record — ask when you call, since it's not stated whether one is provided
  • $20 to $50 in mind depending on the size you want, per third-party listings, though this isn't confirmed on a farm-run price list
  • Directions in hand: from Bowling Green, take Russellville Road (68/80) toward Russellville, go under the Natcher Parkway, turn right at the second road onto Old Tram Road, and continue about three-quarters of a mile

How to spend less here

  • The $20–$50 range scales with tree size, so a smaller white pine sits at the low end of that range if budget is the priority over height

Who it suits

Good for

  • visitors specifically wanting white pine, the only species this farm sells
  • budget-conscious families, since the $20–$50 range (by size) is on the lower end of pricing documented in this batch
  • anyone comfortable with slightly involved directions off Russellville Road, since there's no simple single-street address shortcut

Skip it if

Skip this farm if you want a choice of tree species — white pine is the only one documented here — and don't wait for the very end of the season without calling first, since the exact final open weekend wasn't confirmed.

Worth pairing with

In Warren County near Bowling Green, close enough to Bare Creek Farm and Twin Bridges Tree Farm, both also in the South Central Kentucky region covered in this directory, if you want to compare a pre-cut Fraser fir option or per-foot pricing against Hartman's flat white-pine-only lineup.
