Visit to the Christmas Tree Farm!

A little over 20 miles from our house in the small town of Lovettsville, VA lies Milltown Creek Tree Farms - a self-described “Choose and Cut Christmas Tree Farm” on 100 acres in northwestern Loudoun County.  For the second year in a row, my wife and I made the trek out to this family run farm to search out our family Christmas tree.  For us, this is the way to go when going to pick out a Christmas tree!  Although, this isn’t as simple as showing up, picking one out, throwing it in your car, and driving off.  At Milltown Creek Tree Farm, you park your car, secure a saw and a red wagon, and walk off into the fields to find and cut down whatever tree is ‘the tree’ that will go up in your house for the Christmas season.   

After about an hour of walking the fields, we came upon the tree that now sits in our living room - with a few 'selfies’ with the tree, we sawed it down, placed it in the red wagon, and walked the half-mile back to the cashier.  Although, for whatever reason, it took slightly longer to saw down the tree this year compared to last year – I blame the cold weather.  J

Be sure to visit the little Christmas Tree store on the farm where you can buy Christmas wreaths, ornaments, and other Christmas accoutrements. You can also secure a  complimentary cup of hot apple cider before departing the farm with your tree in tow.  Overall, a great Christmas tradition to share with your loved ones each holiday season!!

Getting there: To get there from Leesburg, travel on Route 7 westbound, take the exit for route 9 west, travel 5 miles and make a right on 287 [Berlin Turnpike] – go 5 miles, and make a left on Householder Road – the farm will be down on the left.
