Pop-N-Son Christmas Tree Farm

This place has gone REALLY downhill over the years. Back in the 90s (I’m guessing Pop was still around in those days) it was a great place to go and pick out a tree. When I went back last year after a long hiatus outside NC, I was severely disappointed. Not nearly the number of trees they’d had in the past and the friendly customer service is gone. It seems like the Son has taken over the business and doesn’t really have his heart in it. Would not be surprised if in the next few years the farm gets sold and turned into apartments :(

Just went here with my wife and got home about an hour ago… The good news is the tree is up and its starting to smell like Christmas, but I did have some issues with the location itself.
First off… little to no help was offered upon our arrival. When we got there we had to seek out someone to help us, and his directions were, lets say less than helpful. After wondering around for a while we found something that would work, and I attempted to cut it down on my own (which with a good saw, is not difficult for a tree that’s about 6″ thick). I got two long cuts in, and the blade became stuck… So stuck that the thing bent and I almost snapped it several times. I gave up instead of breaking their equipment and got someone to saw it down (kind of killed the whole theme of «cutting down your own» that I was going for).
I have no way to compare pricing, but we paid $ 30 for some kind a fur… So I was happy… 6 foot!
All in all, it was OK. The only reason this is 3 stars and not less is the guy who cut it down, shook it and wrapped it for us. He was EXTREMELY helpful, fun, and worth the trip.

I thought cutting our own Christmas tree would be a great way to start the season. A quick search on the Internet led me to the NC Christmas Tree Association and to Pop N Son. With the passing of Pop and Son (God bless), Mistletoe Meadows now operates the tree farm and retail location.
It was our family’s first time going out to a tree farm, and everyone was so helpful and nice. They offer choose & cut and pre-​cut trees, wreaths, garlands, baling, snacks for sale and hayrides. They even loaded the tree atop our car and tied it down. With $ 5 per foot and located in Garner, it was easy on the pocket book and odometer. Also, we received a free evergreen wreath with a tree purchase which let me stretch my budget to buy a boxwood wreath — absolutely beautiful! The kids had fun taking turns cutting the tree and dragging it up the small hill to be baled. We finished our visit with hot chocolate. Another family Christmas memory made. Thank you, Mistletoe Meadows and Stanton Family!
