Our take

King’s Trees has a genuine claim to history that few farms in this directory can match: continuously operated since 1941, when William King’s father started it, with the first tree actually sold in 1947, according to a WBOY.com feature on the farm’s Preston County operation. That’s more than 80 years of the same family selling trees, and the same coverage notes something else worth knowing — this is explicitly a local-customers-only business that doesn’t sell wholesale, which tells you something about the kind of operation you’re visiting: a community fixture rather than a commercial supplier scaling up for volume.

An unusually wide species list

Where many small farms in this directory specialize in one or two species, King’s Trees grows eight: Fraser, Canaan, and Concolor fir, Blue and Norway spruce, and White, Scotch, and Red pine. That’s real variety for a family-run operation, and it means visitors with a specific species preference — or those who simply want to compare a few types in person before deciding — have more to work with here than at most stops on this list.

A rare weekday option

Most farms in this batch operate weekends only, or weekends plus a narrow weekday slot reserved for calling ahead. King’s Trees is more straightforward about it: Monday through Friday, noon to 4:30 PM, is a standing part of the schedule, not something you need to arrange specially. That said, it’s a narrow window — four and a half hours in the middle of the day — so if you’re coming from work, the math may not favor a weekday trip unless you can leave early. Weekends give more room: Saturday from 8 AM until dark, and Sunday from 11 AM until dark, both considerably longer stretches. Appointments are also offered for other times, useful if none of the standard hours line up with your schedule.

What’s on site, and what isn’t

Wreaths, boughs, and candy canes are sold alongside the trees, and a picnic area gives families a reason to linger rather than cut and leave immediately. Saws are provided free, per the record, covering one basic cost that some farms charge for separately. What isn’t available anywhere in the sources reviewed is a price — no starting figure, no note, nothing to build a budget around beyond a phone call. Given the honesty standard this page follows, that gap gets stated plainly rather than filled with a guess: call 304-290-1329 if the cost matters to your planning, since nothing published answers that question for you.

Season timing

The season is expected to run Thanksgiving Day (Nov 26, 2026) through Christmas Eve (Dec 24, 2026), based on the printed dates in the 2025 seasonal booklet mapped onto this year’s calendar. That’s one of the longer windows in this directory, if it holds — but like several other entries here, it reflects last year’s schedule rather than a confirmed 2026 update, so treat it as a strong likelihood rather than a locked-in date.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Weekends give the most time — Saturday from 8 AM or Sunday from 11 AM, both until dark — though Mon-Fri noon-4:30 PM is a genuine option most farms in this batch don't offer, and appointments are available outside those hours.

How long to budget

Not documented, but eight species to choose among suggests more browsing time than a farm with one or two options.

Crowds

Not documented, though a farm this established with weekday hours available may spread visitors out more evenly across the week than weekend-only operations in this directory — a reasonable inference, not a confirmed fact.

Parking

Not documented in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not documented. Expect a working farm field rather than a paved, accessible lot, as with most choose-and-cut operations in this directory.

What to bring

  • A weekday plan if that suits your schedule better — noon to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, is genuinely available here
  • Cash or check as a safe default, since card acceptance isn't confirmed
  • Extra layers for a picnic-area stop, since the farm has tables set up on site

How to spend less here

  • No price is published anywhere in this record, so there's no dollar figure to plan around here without calling ahead
  • Saws are provided free, per the record, which covers a basic cost some farms charge extra for elsewhere

Who it suits

Good for

  • shoppers who want real variety: Fraser, Canaan, and Concolor fir, Blue and Norway spruce, and White, Scotch, and Red pine are all grown here
  • anyone who needs a weekday option — this is one of the few farms in this batch open Monday through Friday, even with limited hours
  • visitors who care about a farm's history: continuously operated since 1941, with the first tree sold in 1947

Skip it if

Skip it if you're hoping to buy in bulk or wholesale, since press coverage explicitly describes this as a local-customers-only operation that doesn't sell wholesale, or if you need more than the narrow noon-4:30 PM weekday window.

Worth pairing with

Not documented in this record; other Preston County or Mountaineer Country farms in this directory may be worth pairing with a visit here.
