The Glenville farm grows Fraser firs and offers choose-and-cut visits with staff help. Its Chattanooga tree lot is a separate destination.

The farm visit.
The caboose and country store
Look for the red caboose at the farm entrance and follow the parking signs. The operator invites visitors to sit by the fire with cowboy coffee or hot chocolate. The General Store carries locally made food, baked goods, candies, coffee, gifts, décor, jams, jellies and farm eggs; its opening hours are separate from tree sales.
Donkeys and farm services
Weather permitting, miniature donkeys greet visitors near the tractor pickup area. This is a chance to say hello to the farm animals.
The farm also lists hayrides, tree baling, unsheared trees, wreaths and boughs, a shop and a campfire. Ask about tagging arrangements before a separate advance visit.
Before you go.
- Thanksgiving Day is closed. Use the Glenville visitor address rather than the Chattanooga lot.
