Boyd Mountain is a century-old farm offering true cut-your-own alongside staff-cut service, with real 2026 dates, a food truck, and Santa visits, though pricing is still 2025 data with a real spread depending on tree quality.
2025 pricing for a 6-7ft tree ran roughly $100-150 depending on quality; no 2026 price sheet confirmed.
Boyd Mountain has operated for roughly a century, and unlike several farms in this batch, it gives visitors a real choice in how they get their tree: true cut-your-own, where you borrow a provided saw and do the cutting yourself, or staff-cut choose-and-cut, where an employee handles it for you. That flexibility is worth noting because most farms in this dataset commit to one model or the other, not both.
The 2026 season is confirmed on the farm’s own site: Nov. 19 through Dec. 13, Tuesday through Sunday, 9am to 5pm. That’s a four-week window, shorter than some other farms in this area, and it’s closed on Mondays, which is worth building into your plans if a weekday visit is your preference.
Hot cocoa and cider are served through an on-site food truck (Harvest Moon Crêpes), Santa makes visits on select weekends, and overnight cabin rentals are available on the property. That combination points to a farm designed for a fuller outing, food, a holiday character visit, even an overnight stay, rather than a quick tree grab. The farm is also pet-friendly, a small but real convenience if you’d otherwise need to arrange for your dog while you’re out.
The record gives 2025 pricing for a 6-7ft tree as roughly $100-150, depending on quality. That’s a genuine $50 spread within a single size class, worth thinking about before you go: if height matters more to you than having the most pristine, symmetrical tree on the lot, a lower-quality (but still perfectly usable) 6-7ft tree could save a meaningful chunk of that range versus a premium-grade one of the same size. That said, this is explicitly last year’s pricing; the record notes no 2026 price sheet has been confirmed, so treat the $100-150 figure as a reference point for the likely range rather than an exact 2026 quote.
The farm accepts cash and all major credit cards but explicitly does not accept checks, a detail worth knowing before you arrive assuming a checkbook will work as a backup payment method. It won’t here.
Because the season here runs a comparatively tight four weeks, and given the added draw of Santa visits and the food truck likely pulling in extra weekend traffic, treat the early part of the window, the Nov. 19 opening through the following weekend, as your best bet for full tree selection before both the trees and the calendar start running out.
The 2026 season runs Nov. 19 through Dec. 13, Tuesday-Sunday, 9am-5pm. Go early in that window for the widest selection, since the season is only about four weeks long and doesn't run on Mondays.
1 to 2 hours if you cut your own tree, grab food from the truck, and catch a Santa visit; 45 minutes to an hour for a straightforward staff-cut purchase.
Not specified directly, but a four-week season (shorter than several other farms in this dataset) closed on Mondays likely concentrates visitors into fewer open days, making the first weekend after opening (Nov. 21-22) a reasonable guess for one of the busier stretches.
Not specified; expect an unpaved lot typical of choose-and-cut farms in this region.
Not specified in available sources. Cut-your-own requires walking the field and using a saw, which is more physically demanding than a staff-cut purchase if that's a consideration for your group.
Skip if you're visiting on a Monday - the farm is closed that day - or if you're planning to pay by check, which the farm explicitly doesn't accept.
Mehaffey Tree Farm, also in Waynesville, if you'd rather have a simpler, no-activities visit with published height-based pricing instead of Boyd Mountain's fuller lineup of food truck, Santa visits, and cabin rentals.
