Sundance Farm

📍 700 Parvin Rd, Irvine, KY 40336🗓 Season dates not yet published for 2026🏷 Pricing TBD

A small, by-appointment-only Estill County grower — a genuinely different visiting model from every other farm in this batch, so treat this as a farm to schedule with well ahead of time, not one to drop into casually.

How you get your tree

Our take

Sundance Farm, operated by Richard Ramsdell and Linda Grimes, is a different kind of listing than almost everything else in this Kentucky batch. It’s a confirmed member of the Kentucky Christmas Tree Association, growing Scotch pine and Norway spruce, but it doesn’t keep the open hours, weekend schedule, or even a rough season window that every other farm in this file has at least some version of. Instead, it sells strictly by appointment.

What “by appointment only” actually changes for you

Most of the farms covered in this directory operate on some version of the same model: a season window, posted hours within that window, and a field or lot you can walk into during those hours. Sundance Farm skips that entirely. There’s no described walk-up option at all — the record is explicit that sales happen by appointment, which means the entire visit-planning process here runs through a phone call or email rather than checking a website for hours.

That’s worth taking seriously rather than treating as a formality. Appointment-based farms, especially smaller ones like this — nothing in the record suggests Sundance operates at anything like the scale of Gubser or Mills Tree Farm elsewhere in this batch — often have genuinely limited inventory and may need real lead time to arrange a slot that works for both sides. If Scotch pine or Norway spruce from a small, low-key grower appeals to you, the smart move is contacting the farm well before Thanksgiving, not waiting until the week you actually want to pick up a tree.

What’s not documented, and why that’s less alarming here than elsewhere

Unlike some other thin records in this batch, the absence of hours, season dates, and pricing for Sundance Farm doesn’t necessarily reflect an incomplete or struggling business — it may simply be the natural consequence of an appointment-based model that doesn’t need a posted schedule the way a walk-up farm does. Still, it means this page genuinely cannot tell you what to expect to pay or when the farm is typically active, which are two of the most basic planning questions a visitor would want answered.

How to actually reach them

The record includes both a phone number (606-726-9722) and an email address (sunfarm@earthlink.net), which is more direct contact information than several other farms in this batch provide. Use either to ask about species availability, pricing, and scheduling in the same conversation.

The bottom line

Sundance Farm is a legitimate, if low-profile, Kentucky Christmas Tree Association grower that simply doesn’t operate the way most farms in this directory do. If you’re the type of visitor who plans ahead and doesn’t mind a phone call replacing a website check, it’s worth reaching out. If you want a farm you can just drive to on a free Saturday, look elsewhere in this batch.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Not documented. Sales are by appointment only, so there's no posted schedule to check against — contact the farm directly to arrange a time.

How long to budget

Not documented.

Crowds

Not documented, though an appointment-only model inherently limits how many visitors are on the property at any given time.

Parking

Not documented.

Strollers and accessibility

Not documented.

What to bring

  • Patience to schedule ahead — contact the farm well before the season, since appointment-based farms often have limited inventory and negotiated visit times
  • A way to pay that you confirm when you set up the appointment, since cash-only status isn't documented

How to spend less here

  • No pricing is documented for Sundance Farm at all, so there's no figure to plan a budget around — ask directly when you contact the farm to arrange your appointment

Who it suits

Good for

  • visitors specifically wanting Scotch pine or Norway spruce from a small grower
  • anyone comfortable arranging a visit ahead of time by phone or email rather than showing up during posted hours

Skip it if

Skip this one if you want a spontaneous, walk-up visit — Sundance Farm sells by appointment only, with no open-hours model described at all.

Worth pairing with

In Estill County near Irvine, in the Southeastern Kentucky region of this directory alongside Mills Tree Farm in nearby London, which offers a much wider walk-up selection if an appointment-only visit doesn't suit your plans.
