Motley's is a full agritourism stop with a farm zoo, pig races, and a fudge kitchen alongside the tree field, not a quick cut-and-go, but you won't find a tree price posted anywhere, so budget flexibly and bring cash for the extras.
Price per tree/foot not published on site; $5 minimum purchase for card payments.
Motley’s reads less like a tree lot and more like a small agritourism park that happens to sell Christmas trees. Alongside the cut-your-own field, the property runs a working farm zoo, pig races, a fudge kitchen, and a gift shop – enough attractions that a family visit here is a different kind of trip than pulling into a five-acre lot, picking a tree, and leaving.
The farm’s 2026 season runs November 14 through December 13 – a comparatively short run of about a month, and one that closes well before Christmas Eve. If you’re the kind of household that grabs a tree the week before Christmas, Motley’s won’t be open for that. It’s also closed Monday through Wednesday entirely, so a weekday visit only works Thursday or Friday afternoon (1-6pm). Weekend hours are longer, 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday, and Black Friday gets an extended 9am-6pm window, with the farm closed on Thanksgiving Day itself.
Motley’s supports both cut-your-own and choose-and-cut, and saws are provided if you want to do the cutting yourself. If you’d rather not, staff will shake, bale, and load the tree for you – a genuinely useful option if you’re visiting with young kids or don’t want to wrestle with netting equipment. The lineup is Carolina Sapphire, Leyland Cypress, and Fraser Fir – three solid, commonly grown Southern species, with Fraser Fir the standout pick if needle retention through the season matters most to you (a widely known general trait of the species, not a farm-specific claim).
This is worth flagging clearly: no per-tree or per-foot price is published anywhere, and the price_note only tells you that card payments carry a $5 minimum purchase. That’s useful in its own way – it tells you cash is the more flexible option for a small ornament or fudge purchase – but it means there’s no honest dollar figure to give you for the tree itself. Call ahead if you need to budget precisely; otherwise plan to ask when you arrive and stay flexible.
The extras here are more substantial than at a typical small farm: a wagon ride out to the field, a working farm zoo, pig races (genuinely unusual among the farms in this research batch), a gift shop, and a fudge kitchen. That combination suggests Motley’s is built for a half-day family outing rather than a ten-minute tree grab, which changes how you should plan the visit – budget real time, not just enough to pick and pay.
Two firm restrictions are worth knowing before you go: no pets are allowed on site, and no professional photo shoots are permitted. If you were hoping to bring the dog along or set up a paid photographer among the trees, this isn’t the farm for it.
Motley’s offers more built-out activities – a zoo, pig races, a fudge kitchen – than most cut-your-own farms in this area, which makes it a stronger pick for a family outing than a quick tree errand. The tradeoffs are a short season that closes well before Christmas, no pets or photographers allowed, and zero published pricing, so you’re trusting the farm to be reasonable on cost rather than knowing the number going in.
The farm's 2026 season runs November 14 through December 13 -- a shorter run than many farms and one that ends well before Christmas, so this isn't a stop for procrastinators. It's closed Monday through Wednesday, so a weekday visit means Thursday or Friday afternoon (1-6pm). Black Friday (9am-6pm) and the two weekends after it are the likely busiest window, given that a farm zoo and pig races draw families beyond just tree buyers.
Longer than a typical cut-and-go. The farm zoo, pig races, wagon ride, and fudge kitchen are all separate stops beyond the tree field itself. Budget at least an hour, more if kids want to linger at the zoo or watch multiple pig-race heats.
Not stated directly, but a farm zoo, pig races, and a fudge kitchen are the kind of draws that pull in more than just tree buyers, and the season closes Dec 13 -- over a week before Christmas -- which likely compresses visitors into a shorter window than farms open through Christmas Eve. Black Friday and the first weekend after are a reasonable bet for the busiest days.
Not described in the record. Most cut-your-own operations run on unpaved field lots, so treat that as a general expectation rather than a confirmed fact here.
Not addressed in any source checked.
Skip Motley's if you need a posted tree price before you go, since neither a flat rate nor a per-foot rate is published anywhere in the record, and skip it if you're bringing a pet or planning a professional photo shoot, since both are explicitly not allowed on site.
Not available in the record checked.
