Barefoot Mountain Farms Christmas Trees

The trees from this lot will exceed all of your expectations. They are the freshest and most vibrant of any I’ve found ! They will decorate your home beautifully, guaranteed !! I was amazed at how few needles had fallen off in January.

As we were walking around Chastain Park a few weeks ago, we saw them setting up for the Chastain Park Conservancy Christmas Tree Sale Fundraiser. Since Chastain has become our park in the last year, we agreed that we would buy our tree here this year.
I stopped in around 7:30 on Thursday, December 1, with the intent of getting a 3 – 4 foot tree (to put on a pedestal/​table so the little one couldn’t get to it and pull it over…). There were 4 people working at the time: the owner, Hal, a couple of high school kids, and another man who seemed to be in charge of the actual activity. There weren’t many small trees to choose from, and the smallest were all in the 5 – 6 ft range. Clearly, they’re expecting the folks who live in the huge houses and want huge trees. All the trees I saw were in great shape — very full. I ended up picking out a 5′ for $ 35, which I think is cheaper than the other commercial lots I’ve previously used.
They also have a selection of wreaths (fir, pine, boxwood), stands, and tree watering aids (basically a long funnel so that you don’t have to bend over and crawl under the tree to water it). I checked all these out as the high school guys were bailing my tree, giving it a fresh cut, and putting the stand on for me.
As Hal was ringing me up (they take Visa, not sure about the others), he explained that this is their 2^nd year as a fundraiser for the conservancy. For each tree purchased, they plant a tree, and then they’ll take your tree back on January 3^rd to recycle it. So not only did I get a beautiful tree for a reasonable price, I also got to help my neighborhood park, and I have a guaranteed way to recycle it when the holidays are over.
