Our take

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.

The pricing actually works in your favor if you go big

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.

Two species, no surprises

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.

Hours are the real wrinkle

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.

What’s genuinely unknown

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.

The bottom line

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.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Weekends from Nov 27, 2026 onward (Fri-Sun); the farm has been open since Thanksgiving weekend in past seasons.

How long to budget

Not documented, but a two-species, flat-price farm with saws on site suggests a straightforward visit without long waits for staff assistance.

Crowds

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.

Parking

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.

Strollers and accessibility

Not documented. Cut-your-own tree fields are typically unpaved and on uneven ground, so plan footwear accordingly.

What to bring

  • Cash or a check, as a safe assumption, since the record doesn't confirm card acceptance
  • Sturdy boots for a working tree field, not a manicured lot
  • A phone (or a way to text) if you're hoping to visit on a weekday

How to spend less here

  • The $40 flat price covers any tree from 5 to 10 feet, per the 2025 feature story, so a 10-footer is the better dollar-per-foot value if you have the ceiling height for it
  • Since it's flat-rate, there's no upcharge for choosing a fuller or taller tree within that size range — the arithmetic works in your favor the bigger you go

Who it suits

Good for

  • budget planners who want to know the exact tree cost before they leave the house
  • anyone wanting a bigger tree without paying more for the extra feet
  • cut-your-own visitors comfortable with Norway spruce or white pine rather than fir

Skip it if

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.
