Price's Christmas Tree Farm

Our take

Price’s Christmas Tree Farm has been growing its own trees near Lexington since 1984, and the record here includes something genuinely useful for planning a budget: real, current numbers rather than a vague price note. Choose-and-cut trees ran $8 per foot in the 2025 season, which means the math is simple and honest to walk through — a 6-foot tree would run about $48, a 7-footer about $56, and an 8-foot tree about $64. Pre-cut Fraser Fir is priced separately by height, running $80 for a 7-foot tree up to $250 for an 11-footer that same season. Worth noting: at those figures, a 7-foot pre-cut Fraser Fir at $80 costs meaningfully more per foot than a 7-foot choose-and-cut tree at roughly $56, which is a real trade-off between species preference and budget rather than an obvious win either way.

What’s grown here versus what’s shipped in

The farm grows Carolina Sapphire, Eastern Red Cedar, Leyland Cypress, and Murray Cypress on its own land, which is the choose-and-cut lineup. Fraser Fir, sold pre-cut, comes from North Carolina and Virginia — consistent with the broader pattern across South Carolina farms, since true Fraser Fir generally needs cooler, higher-elevation conditions the Midlands doesn’t reliably offer. One detail that stands out here specifically: the record notes the farm keeps its pre-cut Fraser Firs in water on the lot, a real freshness-preserving practice worth knowing about if you’re wary of pre-cut trees drying out before you even get them home. That’s a meaningfully more careful approach than simply stacking pre-cut trees against a fence in the sun.

Extras and the schedule constraint

Handmade wreaths and bows are the main listed extra beyond the trees themselves — no hayride, cocoa, or play area shows up in the record for this farm, which may simply reflect a more streamlined, tree-focused operation. The bigger practical constraint is timing: weekday hours (Monday through Thursday) don’t begin until 3 pm, meaning daytime access during the week isn’t available at all. Friday and Saturday open at 9 am, and Sunday runs noon to 6 pm, so weekend visits are the only way to see the farm in full daylight outside a weekday evening window.

On the 2026 season

The 2025 season ran November 21 through December 22, according to sources including the South Carolina Department of Agriculture’s agritourism page and a Lexington County Chronicle roundup. That’s a specific, dated range from last year rather than a stated recurring policy, so it isn’t presented here as this year’s dates. If you’re planning a specific weekend, a call to 803-356-4005 is the way to confirm whether 2026 tracks close to that same window.

Weighing the two options against each other

Because both prices are real numbers rather than estimates, it’s worth actually running the comparison before you decide which way to go. If you want a 7-to-8-foot tree and don’t care about species, the choose-and-cut side at $8 per foot comes out to $56-$64, versus $80 and up for a comparably sized pre-cut Fraser Fir. If a Fraser Fir’s specific look and scent matter enough to you to pay that difference, the water-kept freshness practice at least means you’re not paying a premium for a tree that’s already drying out. If budget is the deciding factor and any of the farm’s own cypress, cedar, or sapphire varieties would do, the field-cut option is the clearer value here based on these 2025 figures.

The honest bottom line

Price’s stands out in this research for genuinely transparent per-foot and per-tree pricing and a real freshness practice for its pre-cut Fraser Firs, making it one of the easier farms here to budget for confidently, even with the 2026 season dates still unconfirmed.
