Cross Plants and Produce sells fresh-cut trees, set up in a rather magical-looking “forest” for you to pick from. They also have other Christmas events, including a Santa and Kids Entrepreneur Market Saturday, with $5 selfies with Santa available November 24, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.; Sunday, December 2, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, December 8, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. (use your own camera). Kid entrepreneur booths include offerings from bakers, inventors, artists, musicians, crafters, life advice, hot chocolate, nerf shooting gallery, and more! It might be a good idea to bring cash. This year sees the addition of a miniature horse and a miniature donkey for even more of a farm feel—but you need to leave your own pets at home.

Business hours for the farm are Tuesdays through Sundays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Be sure to check their Facebook page for details when planning your trip.

Evergreen Farms, just up the road in Elgin, is known for its Christmas trees, which you can choose and cut every day from the Friday after Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve, from noon until dark.

This Temple, Texas, farm sells premium, precut Fraser Firs grown in the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina as well as holiday wreaths.

This cut-and-choose farm would be a great place to go if you’re setting out to enjoy the city of Fredericksburg’s traditional Christmas decorations and festivities. Afghan Pine, green Leyland Cypress, and blue Arizona Cypress are available for cutting (saws provided). The farm also has wreaths, fresh white pine garland roping and wreaths, gifts, and refreshments and offers free shaking, touch-up trimming (upon request) and netting (for the trees, that is). There’s also free popcorn and candy canes for the kids.

Choose and cut Virginia Pines in this farm’s six acres of field—bow saw, kneeling pads, shaking, wrapping, and any needed assistance provided.  Krisoft’s also has tree food, tree bags, stands, and free coloring books for the kids and offers you the chance to roam around and take in some fresh air and farm sights.

This Luling-area farm doesn’t seem to have an exact address, which makes it more intriguing, but there are directions on its Facebook page. Its minimalism extends to being open weekends only, but you when you get there, you can choose and cut Virginia Pines up to 10 feet tall.
