A Fraser fir specialist near I-75 with a genuinely useful pre-tagging option, real published 2025 hours to work from, but a 2026 season and firm price still unconfirmed.
One 2024 customer review (via web search snippet) cited about $100 for a 6-foot tree; the farm's own site does not publish a price list.
Nieman’s positions itself as the Fraser fir farm near Lexington, and the record backs that up: it’s the lead species mentioned, with White pine, White fir, and Blue spruce filling out the lineup for buyers who want something taller than a standard 6- or 7-footer. If Fraser fir specifically is what you’re after — a species widely known for holding its needles longer than some alternatives, a general horticultural fact rather than anything specific to this farm — Nieman’s is a reasonable first call in this area.
A lot of choose-and-cut farms operate on a simple model: show up, walk the field, cut what you find that day. Nieman’s adds a second option — pre-tagging. You can visit early in the season, pick a tree, tag it as yours, then come back later to cut and collect it. That’s a meaningful hedge against the classic late-season problem: the best trees in your preferred size disappear by mid-December even at farms that stay open into the holiday. If you know you want a specific size or shape and don’t want to gamble on a random December Saturday, ask about tagging when you call.
You don’t even have to cut it yourself either way. Staff will cut and load the tree for you if you’d rather not do the work, which is worth knowing if you’re visiting without a saw-savvy family member or just don’t feel like it.
The record includes a fairly detailed 2025 schedule: extended hours the week of Thanksgiving (9am–5pm), wider weekend hours in early-to-mid December (9am–6pm), and much narrower weekday hours the rest of the time (4pm–6pm). That’s useful for planning purposes — it tells you weekday visits mean a tight two-hour evening window, not an all-day option — but it’s last year’s schedule, not a confirmed 2026 calendar. Season start and end dates for 2026 hadn’t been published when this was researched, so use the 2025 pattern as a guess about the shape of the season, not a locked appointment.
The only dollar figure in the record — around $100 for a 6-foot tree — comes from a single 2024 customer review, not from Nieman’s own pricing. That’s genuinely useful as a rough anchor, but it’s one data point about one tree size in one year, and the farm doesn’t publish a price list to check it against. If your budget is tight, call ahead and ask directly rather than assuming that number holds for whatever size or species you actually want.
The bottom line: Nieman’s has real, useful specifics — species specialty, a genuinely helpful tagging system, staff cutting service — but both the current hours and the actual price are things you’ll need to confirm yourself before you go.
Based on the farm's 2025 hours, expect longer weekend windows right after Thanksgiving and shorter weekday afternoon hours through December — but these are last year's hours, not confirmed 2026 hours, so call before you drive out.
Not documented, but the pre-tagging option means you can split the visit in two: a shorter trip early in the season to tag a tree, and a second short trip later to cut and pick it up.
Not documented directly, though the compressed weekday hours (4–6pm) suggest weekday visits may be a quieter alternative to the wider weekend windows.
Not documented in the record.
Not documented.
Skip planning a weekday evening visit assuming long hours, since 2025 weekday hours were a narrow 4pm–6pm window — and skip counting on the ~$100 figure below as your actual price, since it comes from a single customer review, not the farm's own price list.
Located near I-75/Todds Road on the east side of Lexington, close enough to pair with a stop at Barker's or Christmas Memories, two other Lexington-area choose-and-cut farms in this directory, if you want to compare trees before deciding.
Fraser fir is the specialty, with White pine, White fir, and Blue spruce also available, generally for larger sizes from 6 to 12-plus feet.
Unconfirmed by the farm itself. A single 2024 customer review mentioned roughly $100 for a 6-foot tree, but Nieman's does not publish its own price list, so treat that figure as one data point, not a guarantee.
Yes — the farm offers pre-tagging, where you select and tag a tree early in the season, then return later to cut and pick it up. This is a genuinely useful option if you're worried about the best trees selling out.
No. Staff will cut and load the tree for you if you'd rather not do it yourself, and saws are provided if you do.
