Sokoll Christmas Tree Farm, in the Shoals area near Florence, is one of the more kid-oriented setups in this batch of farms. The record describes an interactive treehouse stocked with drawing supplies alongside the more standard hayride and photo-op offerings, which suggests a farm built with a family outing in mind rather than a pure tree-buying errand. That said, the specifics that usually matter most for planning a visit – season dates, hours, and price – were genuinely thin at the time this record was researched, and it’s worth being upfront about that gap rather than papering over it.
The farm grows several varieties suited to the Tennessee Valley climate on site: Virginia pine, Leyland cypress, Carolina Sapphire, Blue Ice, White pine, and Eastern red cedar. All of those are available choose-and-cut. Separately, the farm offers Fraser fir on a pre-cut basis only – it isn’t grown locally, which tracks with the general horticultural reality that true firs generally need cooler, higher-elevation conditions than north Alabama typically provides. If you specifically want that classic Fraser fir look and scent, know you’ll be picking from an already-cut selection rather than walking a field with a saw.
Beyond the tree itself, the record confirms a hayride, photo opportunities, wreaths for sale, and wood-slice ornaments as on-site offerings. The interactive treehouse with drawing supplies stands out as a more distinctive touch than the usual hot-cocoa-and-hayride combination most farms in this region offer, and it’s a reasonable point in Sokoll’s favor if you’re traveling with younger kids who need something to do while adults deliberate over tree height and fullness.
At the time of this research, the farm’s website was displaying a “closed for the season” message with no 2025 or 2026 opening or closing dates posted – which is normal for an off-season site in late August, but it does mean there’s nothing here to lock a visit date against yet. The most recently posted hours were Monday through Friday 10 AM to 4:30 PM and Saturday and Sunday 9 AM to 4:30 PM, but treat those as a starting reference rather than a confirmed 2026 schedule.
The farm’s own site lists choose-and-cut and pre-cut pricing as “to be determined,” including pricing for flocked trees. There is no dollar figure anywhere in the record to draw on, so none appears here – not even a rough range. The only honest advice is to call 256-710-7168 or check the farm’s Facebook page closer to the season, both for current pricing and to confirm the farm is opening on its usual schedule this year.
Not stated. The farm's site was showing an end-of-season 'closed' message at research time with no 2025 or 2026 dates posted, so there's no window to point to yet beyond the general late-November-through-December Christmas tree season.
Not stated in the record. With a hayride and a dedicated kids' treehouse on site, this reads as more than a quick in-and-out tree pickup, but that's an inference from the activity list, not a stated time estimate.
