A small, family-run farm (Tim and Laura O'Neal) open weekends only, but almost nothing beyond basic contact and hours is published - not even whether trees are cut-your-own, choose-and-cut, or precut.
O’Neal’s Christmas Tree Farm is a small, family-run operation - contact is listed as Tim and Laura O’Neal - open only Saturdays and Sundays during the season, 9am to 5pm. Beyond that basic schedule, very little independent information is available about this farm anywhere online.
This is worth stating plainly because it’s unusual even among the thinner records in this research: no source found in the sources reviewed explicitly describes whether trees here are cut-your-own, choose-and-cut, or sold precut. Most farms, even ones with little other published information, at least specify this basic detail. Here, it simply isn’t documented, so this record doesn’t guess - if the specific way you get your tree matters to your plans, that’s a question to ask directly when you call.
No farm website was found, and the sources reviewed - a grower-association listing, a local news roundup, and a handful of directory aggregators - don’t name specific tree species, list any activities, or give pricing. This is one of the thinnest records in the Central Virginia cluster of this research, and there’s no way to responsibly fill those gaps without inventing details that aren’t there.
The 2026 season is estimated to open November 27, based on the “Friday after Thanksgiving” pattern seen in a 2025 listing - a reasonable inference from real precedent, not a confirmed 2026 announcement. No closing date, and no weekday availability, are documented either.
Since this record can’t tell you much about the farm specifically, it’s worth applying what’s broadly true of a short, weekend-driven Christmas tree season in Virginia. Most choose-and-cut operations concentrate the bulk of their annual traffic into the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, simply because that’s when the largest number of families have both the day off and the tradition already in mind. A small, two-day-a-week farm like this one likely feels that surge more sharply than a farm open all week, since there’s no weekday overflow valve to absorb early demand. If cutting your own tree in a specific size or shape matters to you, going earlier in the season rather than waiting for a mid-December weekend is the generally safer approach at any weekend-only, choose-and-cut operation - a real, useful piece of planning advice even without farm-specific confirmation that O’Neal’s follows this exact pattern.
There’s no reason to think O’Neal’s isn’t a real, operating farm - it appears in a state grower-association listing, which suggests legitimate membership in the industry group. But with no website, no confirmed harvesting format, no tree species, and no pricing, this is a farm to treat as a phone call away from planning a visit, not a place to show up at cold expecting the amenities or selection you’d find at a more documented farm nearby. If the call doesn’t get you the answers you need, or the number turns out to be disconnected, a better-documented Amelia or Central Virginia option elsewhere in this directory is a reasonable fallback rather than driving out on hope alone.

Skip if you need to know in advance whether this is a cut-your-own, choose-and-cut, or precut-only farm, since none of that is confirmed in the record, or if you need any pricing information before committing.
Hanover Pines in Beaverdam is another Central Virginia choose-and-cut farm in this directory with a more detailed activity and species list, worth comparing if O'Neal's thin information gives you pause.
Unconfirmed. No source explicitly described the tree-harvesting format, so this isn't assumed in the record - ask when you call.
