Buying a Virginia Christmas Tree!

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Waterfront Properties

treeIf you haven't bought your Christmas tree yet this year, it is not too late to get a tree! Living in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains has its advantages this time of year! Some of the best trees can be found at the local tree farms. Whatever your preference; firs, pines or spruce, there is a perfect tree waiting for you in Virginia!

Buy Local

Just like buying from the local farmers market in summer, buying your Christmas tree locally does more than get you a beautiful tree. Buying local keeps your money local. This helps your community and supports the area families. There are immediate benefits too! Buying from a tree farm usually means your tree is fresh cut. This means less drying out, better needle retention and less fire hazard! Prices are usually more competitive because you are not paying for the tree to be shipped across the country. Lastly, many local farmers will even offer Tree Delivery services, so be sure and ask about it!

Make a Holiday Memory!

You can sometimes even do a little Christmas shopping while you are there! At Dancing Hill Christmas Tree Farm in Bedford you can create Christmas memories. Bring the whole family and the dog too! Everyone is welcome to help you find that perfect tree. They have hot chocolate and cider to keep you warm, and a Gift Shop to browse for that one of a kind gift! In Bedford County, you can also buy live potted Christmas trees at Green Needles Christmas Tree Farm. They will be having a family fun day Sunday December 13th from 1pm - 5pm with free Christmas crafts for the kids and even pony rides available. At Ponds-n-More in Roanoke you can purchase pre-cut trees that have been grown chemical and pesticide free. Most tree farms also have greenery for roping and have wreaths available too for all your holiday greenery!

Living in Smith Mountain Lake has many advantages, from fresh Christmas trees to summer fun on the lake! It is a great place to call home! Come for a visit, if you like it then move here!
