A genuinely small, informal family farm with honest flat pricing — worth it if you can work around weekend-only hours or are willing to call ahead.
Flat $40 per tree regardless of size, per a 2025 WCHS-TV feature story; not confirmed for 2026.
Westfall’s is about as small and un-fussy as a choose-and-cut operation gets, and that’s not a knock. The Westfall family has run it since 1984, originally as a way to help fund their kids’ college costs, and the record shows nothing that suggests it’s grown into a full agritourism destination since. There’s no shop, no hayride, no hot cocoa stand in the record — just a field of Norway spruce and white pine, a couple of tools, and a flat price.
Most choose-and-cut farms charge more as trees get taller, which means shoppers on a budget often talk themselves into a smaller tree than they actually want. Westfall’s doesn’t do that. A 2025 WCHS-TV feature reported a flat $40 per tree covering the farm’s full 5-to-10-foot range, and price_from in this record confirms the same $40 figure. That’s real arithmetic worth spelling out: a 10-foot tree costs exactly the same $40 as a 5-foot tree here, so if your living room has the ceiling height, the better value is to size up rather than settle for something smaller to “save money” — there’s no money to save by going smaller. That pricing is not confirmed for 2026, so it’s last season’s number until someone calls and checks, but it’s a real, sourced figure rather than a guess.
The tree selection is short: Norway spruce and white pine. If you’re set on a Fraser or Canaan fir, this isn’t your farm — several others in this directory specialize in fir. If you’re flexible or specifically want a pine or spruce, the narrow list actually simplifies the decision instead of leaving you comparing eight species in a field.
The farm’s standard schedule is weekends only — Friday through Sunday — starting the weekend after Thanksgiving, which falls on November 27, 2026. But research notes describe the operation as informal enough that a weekday visit can be arranged by calling or texting ahead, using a number (304-373-4020) that differs from the farm’s main listed phone (304-354-6424). Neither number is confirmed as current for 2026, and the record doesn’t explain why two numbers exist — it may simply be a personal cell line for one of the Westfalls versus a landline. Either way, if a weekday trip matters to your schedule, call ahead and be ready to try both numbers.
Cash-only status isn’t stated either way in this record, so don’t assume plastic works — bring cash or a check as a backup. Hours on any given day (open-to-close times) aren’t documented beyond “weekends,” and there’s no season-end date, so you’re planning around a known opening weekend without a known closing one. None of that is unusual for a farm this size, but it does mean a phone call before you drive out — especially in mid-to-late December — is the responsible move rather than an optional one.
If a flat, arithmetic-friendly $40 price and a simple two-species choice appeal to you, and you’re not put off by weekend-only hours or a farm that runs on personal phone numbers rather than a website, Westfall’s is a legitimately low-risk stop. Just don’t build a weekday trip around it without confirming first.
Weekends from Nov 27, 2026 onward (Fri-Sun); the farm has been open since Thanksgiving weekend in past seasons.
Not documented, but a two-species, flat-price farm with saws on site suggests a straightforward visit without long waits for staff assistance.
Not documented in the record; a small family operation with two species and no advertised activities suggests a lower-key crowd than farms with hayrides or a shop.
Not documented. The farm is on Route 16 about four miles south of Grantsville, a rural road, so expect a field or roadside pull-off rather than a paved lot.
Not documented. Cut-your-own tree fields are typically unpaved and on uneven ground, so plan footwear accordingly.
Skip it if you need weekday access without calling ahead first, or if you specifically want a fir species, since the record lists only Norway spruce and white pine.
Not documented in this record; check other Calhoun County or Mountain Lakes-region farms in this directory for a second stop on the same trip.
A flat $40 per tree regardless of size, according to a 2025 WCHS-TV feature story. That figure is not yet confirmed for the 2026 season, so treat it as last year's price until you verify it.
Weekends (Friday through Sunday) starting Thanksgiving weekend, which lands on November 27, 2026. Other dates are available by request — meaning you likely need to call or text ahead.
The standard schedule is weekends only, but the farm has been described as informal about weekday visits if you call or text ahead. The number given for that purpose in past coverage (304-373-4020) is different from the farm's main listed line (304-354-6424), so try both if one doesn't connect.
No — saws are available on site, or staff will cut the tree for you, per the record.
Opens November 27, 2026 (closing date not published). Weekends (Fri-Sun) starting Thanksgiving weekend; other dates by request.
Trees start at $40. Flat $40 per tree regardless of size, per a 2025 WCHS-TV feature story; not confirmed for 2026.
