Mountain Branch Farm
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Garner, North Carolina
A small, old-fashioned choose-and-cut farm tucked behind a Garner subdivision, where red cedar, Virginia pine and white pine all sell at one flat price.
This is a simple farm visit: walk the rows, pick a red cedar, Virginia pine or white pine, and take it home; every tree sells for the same flat price. Supply is limited, so tag your tree early in the season for the best choice.
The farm has a parking lot but is not pet friendly. There is no full website; check its Facebook page for current hours and pricing before you go.
