A 105-acre, family-run farm since 1969 with seven choose-and-cut species including trees over 20 feet tall, but no published price and very short weekday afternoon hours.
Wright’s Christmas Tree Farm has been family-run since 1969, and at 105 acres it’s one of the largest operations in this South Carolina research batch. That scale shows up in a couple of specific ways: the choose-and-cut lineup runs to seven named species — Leyland Cypress, Carolina Sapphire, Clemson Greenspire, Eastern Red Cedar, Deodar Cedar, Eastern White Pine, and Virginia Pine — plus fresh-cut Fraser Fir, and the farm carries trees over 20 feet tall for buyers with unusually high ceilings or commercial spaces. That’s not a size range most small choose-and-cut lots can support, since growing a tree that large takes both the acreage and the years of growth Wright’s long operating history suggests it has.
A canteen with a fire pit for marshmallow roasting, weekend hayrides, and designated photo locations round out what’s listed here. Handmade wreaths and garland are also available. Together, this points to a farm set up for a family to spend real time on the property, not just walk in, cut a tree, and leave — which fits with the acreage and the decades of operating history behind it.
Weekday hours outside Thursday through Saturday are genuinely short. Monday through Wednesday, the farm is only open 3:30 to 5:30 pm — a two-hour window each of those days. Thursday through Saturday extends to a full day starting at 10 am, and Sunday runs 1 to 5:30 pm. If your schedule only allows for early-week visits, plan around that narrow evening slot specifically, not a general “weekday” assumption.
On price, there’s nothing to report. No price_from figure and no price_note exist anywhere in the record for this farm, despite the unusually wide species list and the availability of oversized trees, both of which might reasonably carry different price points from a standard 6- or 7-foot tree at another farm. That’s a reasonable expectation, not a documented fact, so it isn’t stated as one here. The honest step is to call 803-685-7860 before driving out, especially if you’re considering one of the larger trees, since a 20-foot specimen is very likely priced well above a typical field tree even without a confirmed number to cite.
Nothing about season_start or season_end turned up in the farm’s own site, the South Carolina Department of Agriculture agritourism page, the Kidding Around Columbia guide, or Yelp — all sources checked in this research. So while the farm’s decades of operation and acreage suggest a serious, established business, when exactly the 2026 season opens or closes isn’t something this record can answer.
Wright’s offers real scale and variety that smaller farms in this research can’t match, especially for buyers needing an oversized tree, but with no confirmed pricing or season dates and genuinely tight weekday hours early in the week, this is a farm to call ahead of, not drop in on.
Hours run Monday-Wednesday 3:30-5:30 pm, Thursday-Saturday 10 am-5:30 pm, and Sunday 1-5:30 pm. No season_start or season_end date was found, so 2026 opening timing is unconfirmed.
Not stated directly, but at 105 acres with a canteen, fire pit, hayrides, and photo spots, this reads like a farm built for a longer visit than a small family lot, especially on Thursday-Saturday when hours are longest.
Not stated numerically, but a farm this size (105 acres) with over 50 years of operating history likely draws a broader base of repeat local visitors than a small, newer lot, especially on weekends when hours are longest.
Not described in the record.
Not addressed in the source.
Skip a Monday-through-Wednesday visit if you can't get there between 3:30 and 5:30 pm, since that's the entire weekday window, and skip this farm if you need confirmed pricing before you commit to the drive, since none is published.
No specific nearby-farm comparison is available in this record.
The record confirms trees over 20 feet tall are available, useful for high-ceiling homes or commercial spaces, alongside more standard sizes.
Not found in any source checked. No price-from figure or price note exists in this record, so no dollar figure can be given here. Call 803-685-7860 to ask directly.
