Christmas Trees

We are pleased to announced we were voted Nextdoor’s Neighborhood Fave in 2024 and also as one of trees.com‘s Best Christmas Tree Farms in Atlanta, GA in 2021! Thank you to all of our amazing customers who have supported us for the 30+ years we’ve been in business. It is truly a blessing being able to provide each one of you with Christmas memories year after year. Thank you!!!

UPDATE: (as of 12/13/2024)

OPENING DAY FOR 2024 SEASON: 11/28/2024 (11AM-6PM)

There are still some Murray Cypresses, (the tree that stays green and doesn’t shed needles) from four to about eight feet tall in the fields, and in addition to the Murrays, there are some beautiful Carolina Sapphires and Blue Ice (we prefer to be cut around the 2nd week in December since they’re a little more dramatic and tend to dry out faster).

Each tree is individually priced between $9-$11/ft. IF a price isn’t on the tree, it’s probably for next year’s crop. These will be priced at $15/ft.

We’ll offer hayrides through the farm during the Christmas season.

We sure hope you can come out and enjoy spending some time in the country this winter – and get a nice tree too!

We’re open every Monday thru Friday 11 a.m. until dark (about 6 p.m.) and Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. until dark (6 p.m.) beginning Thanksgiving Day, and we look forward to seeing our old friends and to making some new ones.

And don’t forget to stop by the Christmas Shoppe for you other items: stands, ornaments, decor, snacks, cider mixes, and more!

Payment methods: cash, check & all major forms of credit cards. Sales tax will be added on at the register.

Tips for Real Trees

  • Make a fresh cut on the truck when you get home. The sap can seal over quickly and won’t allow water to be absorbed again. The bark is also a valuable way for the tree to absorb and keep the moisture; so avoid whittling away the sides of your trunk if at all possible.
  • NEVER let the water go below the bottom of your trunk (it’s easy to forget but set a reminder on your phone to check/water your tree). As soon as you get home, place it in water. Trees like the Murrays and Sapphires (all part of the Cypress family) can take in as much as 2-3 gallons of water the first day after they’re cut.
  • Do NOT place your tree near a heat source. It may look the best by your fireplace, but if it’s lit this year the tree will dry out and potentially catch fire! (Even a fake tree – the f-word for us at the farm – can catch fire by a lit fireplace). Remember, these trees are used to cooler/cold nights… and many of us don’t keep our homes in the 40s at night. Other heat sources are windows with sunlight pouring through, vents, TV set, etc..
  • It is advised to keep your room temperature lower than usual to reduce drying out. If you don’t have options, be sure to close off your vents/block them off to reduce drying out.
  • WATER WATER WATER! We cannot stress this one enough. They think it’s springtime when they get inside your warm and cozy homes!
  • KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR PRAYING MANTIS NESTS! These are great insects for the *outdoors* but will hatch inside your warm home (since they think it’s springtime already). This is what they look like on your tree… and they are great at hiding!

Christmas Trees

Minter Farm is Fayette County’s largest Christmas tree farm, with more than 2,000 trees ready for purchase this Christmas season.

Murray Cypress, Carolina Sapphires and Blue Ice are trees we grow here on the farm.

The Carolina Sapphires & Blue Ice are shorter season trees. **REMEMBER: It’s best to wait until the second week in December to start cutting them!**

We furnish saws so you can cut your own trees or we can always help you – just ask when you first get to the farm and then let us know whenever you find your tree! Since the fields are in the back of the farm, we will carry you on a hay ride to the trees. We have materials to tie your tree to your vehicle and can also drill your tree if your stand requires it.

We received an email from one of our Trees for Troops recipients this year thank you guys for your donations and making sure her Christmas was complete with a beautiful tree! See Meredith and her mother with Meredith’s tree (she’s stationed at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, FL): 

Hello,

I wanted to say thank you. I was one of the service members who received one of your trees this year. My family loves it and we are so thankful for your support. We hope that you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Cheers,
Meredith
