A genuine, century-old working family farm where Christmas trees are one of several crops, not the main business — a good pairing trip if you time it around the farm's annual craft show, but a narrow weekend-only window either way.
Seven Islands Farm is a different kind of listing than most in this directory: it’s not a business built around Christmas trees, but a genuine working farm — producing hay, bedding plants, cut flowers, eggs, and vegetables — where trees are one seasonal offering among several. That distinction matters for how you should think about the visit. This isn’t a farm optimized for holiday foot traffic with a shop and hayride; it’s a real agricultural operation opening a corner of itself to tree-cutting customers for a few weekends a year.
According to a Parsons Advocate article, the farm holds official West Virginia Century Farm status — a state recognition reserved for farms that have stayed in the same family for 100 years or more. That’s a genuinely verifiable credential, not a marketing phrase, and it says something honest about what you’re supporting if you choose to buy a tree here: a long-running family operation rather than a newer commercial venture.
The farm hosts an annual event called “Christmas in the Meadows,” a craft show and sale held on the first Saturday of December. Research notes specifically suggest combining this with a tree-cutting trip, and that’s sound advice — it turns a narrow weekend visit into more of an occasion, and it’s one of the more specific, dated events mentioned anywhere in this batch of farm records.
Trees are sold only Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 PM — five hours a day, two days a week. The season itself is expected to run from Nov 28 through Dec 20, 2026, based on a description of running “the first Saturday after Thanksgiving until the first Sunday before Christmas Eve, or until sold out.” Combined, that’s a genuinely narrow set of opportunities to visit compared to farms open daily or with a longer weekday allowance. If your schedule doesn’t line up with a Saturday or Sunday afternoon during that window, this isn’t an easy farm to work around.
The species list is short but solid: Balsam, Canaan, and Fraser fir, along with wreaths and garland sold on site. Saws are provided. Because this is a smaller side operation rather than the farm’s primary business, research notes recommend calling ahead late in the season to confirm trees are still available — a reasonable precaution given the limited scale, even without a documented history of selling out. No price figure was found in any source reviewed, so under this site’s rule on money, none appears here; call 304-621-3515 (or try 304-624-3515, a slightly different number that turned up in one secondary source) if cost is part of your decision to visit.
The first Saturday of December, to combine tree-cutting with the farm's annual 'Christmas in the Meadows' craft show; otherwise any Saturday or Sunday, noon to 5 PM, between Nov 28 and Dec 20, 2026.
Not documented, though a narrow five-hour daily window (noon to 5 PM) suggests planning your visit rather than dropping by whenever.
Not documented, though a smaller side operation on a working farm — rather than a farm built around Christmas trees as its main draw — may see less concentrated crowding than farms marketed primarily as tree destinations, an inference rather than a confirmed fact.
Not documented in the record.
Not documented. As a working farm producing hay, produce, and eggs alongside trees, expect genuine agricultural terrain rather than a manicured or paved area.
Skip it if you need more than a five-hour weekend window to visit, since trees are sold only Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 PM, or if you're expecting a dedicated tree-farm operation rather than one crop among several on a working farm.
The farm's own 'Christmas in the Meadows' craft show and sale, held the first Saturday of December, is a documented on-site pairing worth building a trip around.
It's an official state recognition for farms that have remained in the same family for 100 years or more. Seven Islands Farm holds this designation, according to a Parsons Advocate article, making it a genuinely long-running family operation rather than a newer business.
No. It's a diversified working farm that also produces hay, bedding plants, cut flowers, eggs, and vegetables, with Christmas trees (Balsam, Canaan, and Fraser fir) as one of several income streams rather than the sole focus.
An annual craft show and sale the farm hosts on the first Saturday of December, worth combining with a tree-cutting trip if the timing lines up.
Saturday and Sunday only, noon to 5 PM. The season is expected to run from Nov 28 through Dec 20, 2026, resolved from a description of 'the first Saturday after Thanksgiving until the first Sunday before Christmas Eve, or until sold out.'
