Welcome to Greene Meadows Farm!
One of the last choose and cut Christmas Tree Farms in Central Virginia!

 


Christmas 2023

 

Update 5 (11 Dec). After another steady weekend of visitors we are closing for the season.  If you are in need of a tree check the Virginia Christmas Tree Growers Association website for a farm or if you need a precut tree visit the VFW Tree stand in Earlysville.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!  See you next year!!!!    

Update 4 (4 Dec).  It was a busy second weekend.  The weather didn't deter our dedicated customers.  We still have precut Fraser Firs and a handfull of Concolor Firs remaining.  There are still trees avalilable for Choose and Cut as well.  We will be open this weekend (8,9,10 Dec).  See you next weekend!!!

 

Update 3 (27 Nov).  It was a very busy first weekend with a lot of pre-cuts and choose and cut trees sold.  The good news is we still have a good supply of both available for this coming weekend. We look forward to seeing you on the Farm!!!!   

Update 2 (21 Nov)I just turned in the rental truck after picking up trees in Pennsylvania and Southwest Virginia.  We have a nice selection of pre-cut Fraser, Canaan, Douglas and Concolor Firs to augment our White Pines, Spruces (limited) and Canaan (Very limted) in the fields.  To eliminate confusion that we have experienced regarding tree pricing, we are doing things a little different by placing tags on each pre-cut tree.  Simply pick your tree and tear off the lower half of the ticket and take to Anne at the Sales Shed.  We hope this new approach will improve our operation.  Anne and Morgan are busy decorating wreaths so there will be a good selection available for opening day on Friday.  We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!  See you soon.

Update 1 (10 Nov).  Just a quick update....The precuts have been ordered and I will pick them up the week of Thanksgiving from Pennsylvania and Southwest Virginia.  We will have 50 additional precuts this year.  Precuts will include various sizes of Douglas, Frazer, Canaan, and Concolor Firs.  We have a nice selection of White Pines and very limited supply of Fir and Spruces in the field.  As a reminder, in order to reduce costs we elected not to advertise in Charlottesville Family Magazine, so if you don't see our add, don't worry we are still open this year.  We added a Christmas Shop this year to the green building to better display our ornaments, tree stands, jellys, mugs, and tree care products. We continue to prepare for our 24 Nov opening and look forward to seeing our regular as well as new customers.  Look for additional updates....  

Welcome to Greene Meadows Farm
 

It is our objective to provide a traditional Christmas experience to our friends, neighbors, and customers.

We invite you to come out to the farm and search through over 7 acres of trees or choose from our selection of fresh pre-cut trees featuring the Concolor Fir.

After you've either cut a tree from the fields or selected a pre-cut tree, visit our new Christmas Shop, enjoy a cup of complimentary Hot Chocolate or Cider and a Candy Cane, and browse our selection of ornaments and other decorations and gift items.

Augment your traditional family decorations by choosing a freshly made wreath, swag, or garland.

Visit the lambs and don't forget your camera...you'll want to capture the moment or take a picture of the beautiful mountains and scenery.

 

A Note to Our Friends, Neighbors, Loyal, and New Customers...

It's hard to believe but Christmas is almost here.  We've been busy preparing for your visit sprucing up the farm.  This is a year round job but takes on a higher priority during November.  Every year it seems to faster and faster.

As I mentioned in the update I will pick up the Pre-cut trees the week of Thanksgiving from Pennsylvannia and Southwest Virginia.  My PA supplier wasn't able to fill my Fraser Fir requirements this year so I found an alternative supplier.  I was fortunate to get 50 additional this year.  We will have Concolor, Fraser, Douglas and Canaan Firs of a variety of heights to include 12 plus Douglas and Concolor Firs.       

For our Concolor Fir customers, we will continue to have a nice selection pre-cut trees from our supplier in Pennsyvannia.  Remember all of our pre-cut trees are cut the week of Thanksgiving and are stored out of the wind and sun to preserve freshness.  

For choose and cut we have a nice selection of White Pines and a very reduced selection of Canaan Firs, and Spruces.  The drought has fortunately not impacted us significantly, but we still need about a week of easy rain.    Watch out for the baby trees when walking the fields.     

By popular demand, we continue to offer our Greene Meadows Farm private label preserves and jelly's that include Apple Butter, Black Berry Preserves, Pumpkin Butter, Horseradish Mustard and Hot Pepper Jelly.  These items make great stocking "stuffers" and great gifts for friends and family.  Remember to reserve a jar or two for your own enjoyment. 

Based on demand, we will also continue to offer the Krinner Tree Stand; you may recall Anne refers to it as the "marriage saver" stand.  Once you see the demonstration you'll want one.  

Santa continues to be impressed with the letters he received last year from the farm and has agreed to provide the "Special Mail Box" again this year.  As you may remember John had a long talk with Santa four years ago and he agreed to give us a special mail box for direct mailing to the North Pole.  It has been so successful that Santa has agreed to let us use it another year.  So if your interested in sending Santa a letter, you can bring it with you to the Farm or we will have paper and pencils so you can write one during your visit.  An Elf from the North Pole Post Office comes down after each weekend and picks up the letters so you can be sure Santa is going to see them.  Santa let John continue to borrow one of his old sleds for the Farm for pictures. 

A Ho Ho Hogan and Big Bo Update....The same report as last.  Both Hogan and Bo think they're puppies even though they are 8 years old.  Needless to say at around 80 and 100 pounds they are not ready to venture down freely to the selling area.  We still hold out hope that one day they will be able to take there place on the farm greeting customers like Koda did.

Anne's new shop will be open with tree care supplies, wreaths, and unique items to include ornaments, mugs and decorations.  The shop is attached to the greene building and we believe it will improve your ability to shop.  As we have done over the last 3 years, Anne will set up the cash register on a table infront of the doors under the porch.  This approach is favored by our customers and is more efficient.  We will continue our tradition of offering complimentry hot cup of cider or hot chocolate and coloring books and candy canes. 

We say this every year and it is true...The most enjoyable part of the farm is visiting with our friends and neighbors who return each year to  make us a part of their Christmas and meeting the new folks who venture out to Greene Meadows in search of that traditional Christmas experience.

For your convenience we accept cash and credit cards.

We look forward to seeing you again this year!
