The Hunter Farm in Weddington, NC, isn’t just a place to pick up a tree—it’s an iconic holiday tradition wrapped in seasonal cheer.
Whether you’re searching for the freshest Fraser fir, exploring festive family activities, or looking to immerse yourself in the warmth of a local community holiday celebration, we’ve got you covered.
Here on our 6th-generation, family-owned farm, we believe the holidays are best enjoyed surrounded by tradition, joy, and—of course—spectacular Christmas trees.
With a dedication to quality, hospitality, and creating memorable experiences, The Hunter Farm is where the Charlotte metro area comes to celebrate the season, and it’s one of the best Christmas tree farms in NC.
Fresh Fraser Firs and Holiday Greens
The centerpiece of your holiday begins with an extraordinary tree, and Fraser firs are famous for their full branches, lush green color, and long-lasting needles.
Our fresh-cut Fraser firs, handmade garlands, and festive wreaths all come from our partners at Chestnut Hill Tree Farm in Ashe County, NC. By working with a long-standing family farm like theirs, we make sure every item we offer is top notch, from the moment it's cut to the moment it graces your home.
Shopping for your Christmas tree here is a breeze. We provide full-service trimming, netting, and loading, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Whether you want a charming tabletop tree or a glorious, ceiling-scraping centerpiece, your holiday decorating starts (and ends) stress-free with us.
And if that weren’t enough, we’ve added thoughtful touches to make your visit special. From cheerful holiday music to festive décor, our commitment to quality and festive spirit is something we’re proud to share with every visitor.
Other Family Activities That Spark Joy
At The Hunter Farm, we believe that finding your Christmas tree is just the start of the holiday magic. Our festive activities deliver a season of memories for visitors of all ages.
Wagon Rides and Petting Barn
Step onto our holiday-themed wagon and ride your way to a petting barn where the fun really begins.
Wave hello to our animals, take a close-up picture with Santa’s sleigh, and—of course—snap those picture-perfect holiday shots under the barn lights. For the little ones, there’s even an opportunity to write and drop off their letters to Santa in our special magic mailbox.
Pro tip? Reserve your spots early for the wagon ride, as it’s one of our most popular experiences during the season. A limited number of walk-ins are available, but you'll want to book ahead to make the most of your visit.
Santa Experience
What’s a holiday celebration without a visit from the big guy in red?
On select December dates, Santa himself makes a special appearance at our farm. It’s the perfect chance for kids (and adults alike) to share their wish lists and enjoy a magical moment with the season’s most iconic guest.
Live Nativity Special Event
One of the most meaningful parts of our holiday traditions at The Hunter Farm is our annual live nativity special event, titled “A Journey to Bethlehem.” Now in its third year, this cherished gathering brings our community together to reflect on the true reason for the season.
Taking place in December, our live nativity event offers three beautifully immersive performances, complete with Christmas carols, traditional storytelling, and touching holiday moments you won't want to miss. Admission is free, though registration is required to make sure there’s space for everyone.
We’re honored to make this event an opportunity to give back. During the live nativity, we welcome donations of children’s clothing, diapers, and women’s clothing, which will benefit Turning Point of Monroe—a local organization making a difference in our community.
A Unique Holiday Market
No trip to The Hunter Farm is complete without a stop at our Market Barn. Originally Weddington’s first post office, our barn has been reinvented as a hub for holiday shopping.
From locally handcrafted gifts to charming holiday decorations, you're sure to find something special for everyone on your list. Plus, all items celebrate local creativity and quality, so your purchases are meaningful and one-of-a-kind.
It’s yet another way our farm goes beyond the ordinary to celebrate the season with a healthy dose of nostalgia and hometown pride.
