How you get your tree

This farm offers

cut-your-ownchoose-and-cut (staff cuts it for you)

All trees priced the same regardless of size, per the 2025 state directory listing; exact dollar figure not stated in sources reviewed.

Our take

Mulkeen’s pitch, per its own materials, is scale: “a thousand trees to choose from” across white pine, Canaan fir, and blue and Norway spruce. That’s a meaningfully larger inventory claim than most farms in this directory make, and it comes with a pricing structure that’s genuinely worth understanding before you go, even without a number attached to it.

Flat pricing you can reason about, even without the number

The state forestry directory’s 2025 listing states plainly that all trees at Mulkeen’s are priced the same regardless of size. No source reviewed states what that price actually is — not a figure, not a range — so under this site’s rule on money, this page can’t print a dollar amount. But the structure itself is real, sourced information, and it changes how you should shop here compared to a per-foot-priced farm. On a per-foot lot, picking a smaller tree saves you money; here, it doesn’t. If you have the ceiling height for a bigger tree, there’s no financial reason to settle for a smaller one — the arithmetic works out to zero difference in cost either way, once you know what that flat number is. Calling ahead (304-292-0059) or checking mulkeenlandscaping.com is the only way to close that last gap.

An option most farms in this directory don’t offer

Beyond cutting your own, Mulkeen’s also offers balled-and-burlapped trees — living trees with the root ball intact, meant to be replanted rather than discarded after the holiday. That’s a genuine point of differentiation. If you’ve been curious about a living Christmas tree but haven’t found a farm offering one, this is one of the few in this batch that does, per the record.

Getting there, and when

Access for the final stretch is via a gravel road (Arden Peters Road), and the state directory explicitly advises visiting only during daylight hours, since there’s no after-dark access set up in the field itself. Combined with hours limited to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, that means this isn’t a farm you can swing by after work on a weekday evening — plan a daytime weekend trip, and build in enough time to browse a thousand-tree selection before dusk cuts your visit short.

What’s included, and what isn’t confirmed

Saws and twine for tying the tree down are provided at no charge, per research notes, which covers the basic mechanics of a cut-your-own visit. What isn’t confirmed is whether the farm takes cards — treat cash or a check as the safer assumption until you’ve asked. The season is expected to run Nov 27 through Dec 24, 2026, giving you a longer window than several farms in this directory that stop earlier or leave their closing date open-ended, which is one advantage of a large-inventory operation: there’s more room to wait if your first-choice weekend doesn’t work out.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Daylight hours on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday between Nov 27 and Dec 24, 2026 — the directory specifically advises against after-dark visits since there's no lit access in the field.

How long to budget

Not documented, but with roughly a thousand trees described across the farm, browsing before cutting may take longer than at a smaller operation.

Crowds

Not documented in the record.

Parking

Not documented specifically, but access is via gravel road (Arden Peters Road) for the final stretch, and the state directory advises visiting only during daylight hours since there's no after-dark access in the tree field.

Strollers and accessibility

Not documented. A gravel-road approach and an open tree field both point toward uneven, unpaved terrain rather than an accessible lot.

What to bring

  • A phone call to get the actual dollar figure, since the record confirms flat pricing exists but not what it costs
  • Time before dusk — the directory specifically warns there's no after-dark access in the field
  • Cash or check as a safe default, since card acceptance isn't confirmed

How to spend less here

  • All trees are priced the same regardless of size, per the 2025 state directory listing, which means choosing a larger tree costs you nothing extra compared to a smaller one — real arithmetic, even without the underlying number
  • Saws and twine for tying the tree down are provided free, per research notes, one less thing to buy or bring

Who it suits

Good for

  • shoppers who want real choice — the farm's own materials describe about a thousand trees across four species
  • anyone leaning toward a bigger tree, since all trees are priced the same regardless of size, per the state directory
  • visitors who'd rather replant than cut, given the balled-and-burlapped (live) tree option

Skip it if

Skip it if you need an exact price confirmed before you leave home, since the record confirms flat pricing but not the dollar amount, or if you're not comfortable with a gravel-road final approach and a daylight-only visiting window.

Worth pairing with

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