An Old Fashioned Family Tradition
Farm Fresh Christmas Trees from the
Boone and Blowing Rock Area of the North
Carolina Mountains.
Watauga County, also known as the Choose
and Cut Capital, is home to some of the
most entertaining and scenic Choose and
Cut farms across the region. Choose and
Cut involves customers visiting a tree
farm and roaming across tree-covered
hillsides hunting the perfect tree to
take home with them. Choose and Cut is
the essential holiday family tradition,
where young and old alike can enjoy a
day on a real farm. Many farms offer
hayrides, farm animals, cookies and
cocoa and even Christmas Shops to
purchase other holiday gifts. Wreaths
and roping are also available to
purchase.
Many families visit the same Choose and
Cut farm year after year, establishing
not only long-lasting friendships but
also cherished family traditions that
take us back to a simpler, slower pace
of life. Countless couples have chosen
Choose and Cut as the occasion to ring
in an engagement as well as the
Christmas Season. Come bring your family
to the Boone and Blowing Rock areas in
Watauga County. Shop at unique mountain
craft stores and visit classic
destinations like Dan’l Boone Inn and
Mast General Store. Come explore Watauga
County and Choose and Cut farms…you’ll
be glad you did!

growers.
