Where did you get your fir?

The weather outside may not(yet) be frightful, but how better to get in the holiday spirit than a day at the farm?… The Christmas tree farm! Some folks spend the afternoon after their turkey dinner with a tradition of setting up their holiday tree. It’s how the Christmas season really gets started! Don’t have yours yet? Don’t even know where to look? Pull on the flannel and overalls, strap on your boots and embrace your inner lumberjack at one of our top picks…happy chopping!

In Maryland:
Zekiah Farms, 5235 Bryantown Road, Waldorf, Maryland. (240) 216-4065. Also a great place to do arts & crafts with the kids. Open Monday – Thursday 3-7 p.m., Friday & Saturday 10:00 a.m.-8 p.m., Sunday 11:00 a.m.- 7 p.m.

Homestead Farm, 15600 Sugarland Road, Poolesville, Maryland (301) 977-3761. This one was one of our favorites for pumpkin picking, too. Such a great atmosphere and selection of all kinds of seasonal goods – we’ll go back again and again! Open Friday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting Dec. 5.

In Virginia:
Middleburg Christmas Tree Farm, Route 630 (Unison Road) and Christmas Tree Lane, Middleburg, Virginia. This farm has the Colorado Blue Spruce, a spectacular seasonal selection – and trees up to 16″. Awesome. (540) 554-8625. Open weekends 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Dec. 21. (Plus, any hard day at the farm requires a stop Upper Crust bakery on the way out…)

Snickers Gap Christmas Tree Farm 34350 Williams Gap Rd., Round Hill, Virginia. (540) 554-8323. Ok, the name is what really made us fall in love, but since the farm has been voted Loudoun County ’s “Best Christmas Tree Farm” for four consecutive years, it’s nothing to snicker at! Open daily, M-F noon until dark, 9 a.m. to dark every Sat & Sun and the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Or are you too lazy to cut your own? We have yet to try this service recently seen in Daily Candy… Green Valley Christmas Trees deliver your holiday tree from North Carolina and Oregon straight to your door. You pick the pine (noble and Frasier Firs available as well) as well as what size you want it. It comes to you in a carton with a pre-drilled trunk and removal kit. (Free shipping!)

Have everyone at your holiday happenings asking you, where did you get your fir??
