The only cut-your-own farm for a multi-county stretch south of Charleston, with genuinely generous free services — expect it to be busier than a typical small farm, especially on opening weekend.
Wilkerson’s stands out in this directory for a specific, sourced reason rather than a marketing claim: regional newspaper coverage describes it as the only cut-your-own Christmas tree farm serving a wide stretch of southern West Virginia — Lincoln, Boone, Logan, Putnam, and Kanawha counties, essentially everything south of Charleston down toward the Kentucky line. That’s not this record’s own opinion; it’s what a Charleston Gazette-Mail feature and a Williamson Daily News piece marking the farm’s 50th anniversary both reported. It’s the single most useful planning fact in this record, because it directly predicts crowd behavior.
A farm that’s genuinely the sole cut-your-own option for five counties is going to draw differently than a farm competing with three others in the same town. If you’re going for the tradition of walking a field and cutting your own tree rather than picking a pre-cut one off a lot, and you live in that catchment area, you may not have another local choice — which means opening weekend (the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, expected to be Nov 28, 2026, per the farm’s consistent yearly pattern) could genuinely be crowded. If avoiding a crowd matters more to you than having the widest selection, plan for a visit a week or two later instead.
The farm’s own materials, per research notes, describe a one-stop setup: free saws, a tree shaker to knock loose needles, free baling, a needle-retention treatment, rope for tying the tree down, and even loading help getting it onto your vehicle. That’s a genuinely long list of included services compared to farms that charge separately for baling or don’t offer loading help at all. The catch is that no price figure was found anywhere in the sources reviewed for this farm — not a starting number, not a note. Under this site’s honesty rule on money, that means this page can’t hand you a number, even a “typical” one. What it can tell you is that whatever the tree costs, several add-on services that sometimes cost extra elsewhere are already folded in here.
The selection is white pine and Norway spruce across roughly 13 acres of planted trees — not the widest species list in this directory, but a real working farm rather than a token lot. On-site extras include a restroom, picnic tables scattered through the fields, and a weekend warming fire, which together suggest a farm built for families who want to make an afternoon of the visit rather than grab a tree and leave.
Research notes specifically flag that visitors should call ahead after the first week or two of the season to confirm the farm hasn’t sold out of good trees — sound advice for any popular cut-your-own operation, and doubly so for one that’s reportedly the only option for several counties’ worth of demand. If you’re planning a December visit rather than an opening-weekend one, that phone call is worth making before you drive out.
If you want the widest tree selection, go on or near opening day, Nov 28, 2026 (the first Saturday after Thanksgiving); if you'd rather skip the crowd, wait a week or two and call ahead first.
Not documented, but with a restroom, picnic tables, and a weekend warming fire on site, this reads like a farm built for a longer visit than a quick cut-and-go.
Likely higher than average for a farm this size. Press coverage explicitly frames it as the only cut-your-own farm for a multi-county area (Lincoln, Boone, Logan, Putnam, and Kanawha counties), which is a real reason to expect more traffic, especially on the opening Saturday.
Not documented specifically, though roughly 13 acres of planted trees and a picnic area suggest a working farm with room to spread out visitors rather than a cramped roadside lot.
Not documented. The tree fields themselves are working farmland, so plan for uneven, unpaved ground even with a restroom and picnic tables available.
Skip opening weekend specifically if you dislike crowds, since regional press describes this as the only cut-your-own option for several counties south of Charleston and the farm always opens the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, and skip the farm altogether if you want a fir rather than the white pine or Norway spruce grown here.
Not documented in this record, though its role as the primary cut-your-own option for several counties suggests it may be the sole tree stop on a visitor's trip rather than one of several.
Regional press coverage describes it as the only cut-your-own Christmas tree farm from the Huntington/Charleston area south to the Kentucky line, covering Lincoln, Boone, Logan, Putnam, and Kanawha counties. That's a real, sourced reason to expect a wider draw than a typical single-county farm, especially on opening weekend.
White pine and Norway spruce. That's a narrower list than some farms in this directory, so if you want fir specifically, look elsewhere.
The record lists free saws, a tree shaker, free baling, a needle-retention treatment, rope for securing the tree, and loading help — but no actual price figure was found anywhere in the sources reviewed, so the dollar cost itself remains unconfirmed.
Opening is expected Nov 28, 2026, the first Saturday after Thanksgiving — described in press coverage as the farm's consistent pattern. Weekends run daylight to dark; weekdays after opening week run 10 AM to 5 PM.
