Ashe County: America’s Top Christmas Tree Producer
When families bring home a fresh Fraser Fir, many don’t realize they’re also bringing home a piece of Ashe County, NC—the largest Christmas tree–producing county in the entire United States. Known as the “Christmas Tree Capital,” our mountains provide the perfect soil and climate for growing the world’s most sought-after holiday tree: the Fraser Fir.
The Heart of Fraser Fir Country
More than 12,000 acres in Ashe County are dedicated to Christmas tree farming, producing millions of trees each year. The cool temperatures, high elevations, and fertile mountain soil create the ideal environment for Fraser Firs—trees known for their strong branches, soft needles, rich green color, and long-lasting fragrance.
Supporting Local Farms and Families
When you purchase a real tree grown in Ashe County, you’re doing more than decorating your home—you’re investing in our community. Christmas tree farms, like Christmas Mountain Farms, are family-owned businesses that provide jobs, support local suppliers, and keep traditions alive. Every tree sold helps sustain small farms and strengthens our mountain economy.
Why It Matters to Shop Local
Choosing a farm-grown Fraser Fir instead of a mass-produced artificial tree or a box store option supports an entire network of small businesses. From tree growers to lot operators, wreath makers to haulers, countless families depend on this industry. In Ashe County, Christmas trees aren’t just a holiday tradition—they’re a way of life.
The Lasting Impact of Your Tree
Every tree you see on our lots in North and South Carolina is part of something bigger: a tradition that connects communities, supports farmers, and keeps holiday magic alive. By choosing a Fraser Fir from Ashe County, you’re choosing freshness, sustainability, and a direct investment in small businesses that care deeply about the land and the families they serve.

This holiday season, join us in supporting the farms, families, and traditions that make Ashe County the Christmas Tree Capital of the U.S. When you choose a tree from Christmas Mountain Farms, you’re not just decorating your home—you’re helping keep a community strong.
