Cedar Lake Tree Farm
For a full day’s experience, make a trip out to Cedar Lake Tree Farm, located in Iron Station. Located 26 miles from Charlotte, Cedar Lake has been providing Christmas memories since 1992, with its wonderful selection of fresh cut Fraser fir trees. And they don’t stop at Christmas trees. Check out their selection of other greenery, including wreaths, roping, garlands, swags, and more. Plus, there are real farm animals and haystacks to look at!
Grace Tree Farm
About 30 miles from Charlotte sits Grace Tree Farm in beautiful Denver, North Carolina. Get ready to get your lumberjack skills on, because at Grace Tree Farm you can cut your very own Christmas tree. Trees grown on the farm include the white pine, Leyland cypress, Carolina Sapphire, and arborvitae. And if you’re not ready to cut your own, take your pick from the premium freshly cut Fraser firs brought down from the North Carolina mountains.
Bonus: Christmas Market in McAdenville
Add to your Christmas decor with a stop at the Catawba Riverkeeper's first annual Christmas Market at The Boathouse, where you’ll be able to shop 30-plus local artisans and crafters for gifts, holiday decor, sweet treats, and more. While you’re there, be sure to explore Christmas Town and walk the quarter-mile trail of Christmas lights leading from The Boathouse onto Main Street.
