Hilltop Tree Farm

Our take

Hilltop Tree Farm is a pre-cut operation in Daviess County, selling Fraser fir and white pine that were grown elsewhere and brought in for sale rather than harvested from the farm’s own fields. The farm’s own materials are explicit on this point: no choose-and-cut option is offered. If you specifically want to walk a field and cut your own tree, this isn’t the farm for that experience.

The landmark that makes this farm easy to find

One genuinely distinctive detail in the record: a 30-foot-tall Santa figure on the property, described as a notable landmark. For a rural Western Kentucky farm without a flashy website, that’s a practical navigation aid as much as a novelty — if you’re driving out and want confirmation you’re in the right place, that’s hard to miss.

A hint of future change

Alongside the pre-cut Fraser fir and white pine, the farm’s page also lists “replantable” potted White Pine and Norway Spruce for sale. That phrasing is worth noticing: it suggests the farm may be cultivating its own stock, possibly with an eye toward offering choose-and-cut down the line, similar to how Sherwood Acres near Harrodsburg describes its own maturing trees elsewhere in this directory. Nothing in the record confirms that plan or a timeline for it, so treat it as a detail worth asking about rather than an assumption to build a visit around.

The hours are the biggest open question

The most detailed schedule available — Monday through Saturday 8am to 6pm, Sunday 12pm to 4pm — comes from a source that appeared to date to 2023. That’s specific and useful as a planning baseline, particularly the detail about reduced Sunday hours, but it’s old enough that it shouldn’t be treated as confirmed for the current season. If a Sunday visit is your plan, especially outside that narrower midday window, call 270-281-5555 first rather than risk arriving to a closed lot.

What the farm doesn’t document

Beyond wreaths, garland, and tree netting/baling — standard pre-cut-lot services — the record doesn’t mention restrooms, hayrides, Santa visits (beyond the lawn display), or any concession stand. This reads as a straightforward, no-frills pre-cut lot rather than a full agritourism destination, which may suit visitors who just want a tree without a longer outing attached.

The bottom line

Hilltop is a real, functioning pre-cut lot with a memorable landmark and reasonably specific historical hours to plan around, but the age of that hours data and the unresolved choose-and-cut question mean a quick phone call is worth the few minutes before you drive out, especially for a Sunday trip.
