Christmas Tree Farms
Werkmeister's Christmas Tree Farm in Shepherdsville
Sure, you can purchase an artificial, pre-lit Christmas tree to adorn your home for the holidays. But there are many who would argue that nothing beats the nostalgia of trekking to the country to pick out a live conifer, strapping it to the top of the car, and bringing it home to fill the house with the smell of real pine.
The following Christmas tree farms are selling trees for the 2012 holiday season. Please call the farm before you go for hours of operation and to confirm availability of trees. You can find more information about Christmas tree farms in the state at the Kentucky Christmas Tree Association website, kychristmastreefarms.com, or by visiting the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s websites at kyproud.com or kyagr.com.
