An unusual Bullitt County farm that splits its open dates by tree species — fir on one weekend, spruce on another — so check which weekend matches what you actually want before making the roughly 20-mile drive from Louisville.
Third-party sources disagree on flat pricing: one lists all trees at $45, another at $50 flat; neither is the farm's own published price list.
Werkmeister Christmas Tree Farm has one detail in the record that’s genuinely unlike anything else in this batch: it reportedly splits its open dates by which tree species is being sold. In the 2025 season described in the sources found, fir was available on one cluster of dates in late November and early December, while spruce was sold on an entirely separate weekend in mid-December. That’s not a minor scheduling quirk — it means the standard tree-farm assumption of “show up any open weekend and pick from what’s available” may not hold here.
If you have a specific species preference — say you want fir over spruce, or vice versa — showing up on the wrong weekend under this system could mean the tree you actually want simply isn’t for sale that day. That’s a real trip-planning risk that doesn’t exist at farms offering all their species together throughout the season. Before you drive out, it’s worth calling 502-543-6084 to confirm both which weekends apply this year and which species is being sold on each one, since the specific 2025 dates found (fir on Nov 19, 24, 25, 26, and Dec 2–3; spruce on Dec 16–17) aren’t confirmed to repeat exactly for 2026.
Saws are provided for cutting your own tree, and staff handle netting and baling for transport. Beyond the tree itself, the farm sells coffee, water, soda, and Kentucky fudge — a nice regional touch — along with wreaths, and restrooms are available on-site, which isn’t something every farm in this batch confirms.
Two different third-party sources give slightly different flat prices: one says $45 per tree, another says $50, with neither figure coming from a published price list on the farm’s own site. A $5 difference isn’t huge, but since it’s the only pricing information available and the two sources don’t agree, treat both numbers as rough estimates rather than something to hold the farm to exactly. Confirm the actual current price when you call about the species-specific dates.
Werkmeister is a reasonably convenient, roughly 20-mile drive from Louisville with genuine amenities like fudge and on-site restrooms, but its unusual species-split scheduling is the single most important thing to sort out by phone before you go — more important here than at almost any other farm in this batch, where the bigger risk is usually just an uncertain closing date rather than the wrong tree being available on the wrong day.
In 2025, fir was sold on Nov 19/24/25/26 and Dec 2–3, while spruce was sold Dec 16–17, 10am to 4pm — a genuinely species-specific schedule. These are last year's dates, not confirmed for 2026, so call ahead.

Skip showing up on a random weekend hoping to find your preferred species — the fir and spruce weekends are reportedly separate, so visiting on a spruce weekend when you want fir (or vice versa) could mean leaving without the tree you came for.
About 20 miles from Louisville in Bullitt County, near Roberts Family Farm and Pine Ridge Farm in the same Louisville region of this directory, worth considering as alternatives if the species-specific dates here don't line up with your schedule.
According to a 2025-season schedule, fir was sold on one set of dates (Nov 19/24/25/26 and Dec 2–3) and spruce on a separate weekend (Dec 16–17) — an unusual arrangement worth checking before you visit, so you show up on the weekend matching what you want.
Third-party sources disagree: one cites a flat $45 per tree, another $50. Neither is confirmed by the farm's own published pricing, so ask when you call.
Coffee, water, soda, and Kentucky fudge for sale, along with wreaths. Restrooms are also available on-site.

What sets it apart locally: it has free netting/baling, which most Louisville Region farms on our list do not.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 0 of the 4 farms we track in Louisville Region had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
