Cutting down our own Christmas tree has been a longstanding holiday tradition in my family. We…read moremoved from South Carolina to Cary in 2001, and when the end of November came around, we realized we needed to find a Christmas tree farm. Back Achers Christmas Tree Farm is the answer! It is a family-owned business, and everyone working there is so nice. I love seeing the owner out there in his bright orange cap. He always has a smile on his face. As is true with all things that come from nature, some years have better "tree pickins" than others. However, I cut down my tree here the weekend after Thanksgiving, and there are still plenty of beautiful trees available. Back Achers provides the saws. You grab one when you arrive and walk down the fresh pine smelling aisles of trees. If you don't want to cut down your own tree, but still want to support a local business, they do sell pre-cut trees as well. The prices are very affordable. I found my 8-footer this year for $32. They also provide a $1-off coupon on their website. After you cut down your tree, they shake it all out, wrap it, and strap it to your car. I highly recommend making a trip to Back Achers part of your holiday tradition!

I thought cutting our own Christmas tree would be a great way to start the season. A quick search…read moreon 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!

Just went here with my wife and got home about an hour ago... The good news is the tree is up and…read moreits 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.

Great place for pumpkins! We visited last weekend and heirloom pumpkins were 50% off!…read more We were excited to visit a farm we haven't been to before and support local. The Family Farm on Avent Ferry was easy to locate and has ample parking. Empty wagons are set up out front for use transporting pumpkins. Numerous pumpkins line the shop inside and out. We gathered up our pumpkins and used the outdoor checkout table. After paying, we enjoyed a meal from the hot dog stand. There is also an acai bowl shop and a food truck. Only issue was the Goblin pumpkins were listed as 50%, however, the ladies at the checkout table insisted they were 25% off. Even though they were situated near the sign saying 50% off, they rung them up as 25% off and then didn't adjust the signage. I understand that incorrect signage can happen, but they should fix it and make it clear that they are charging a different amount than advertised.

It's $10/foot for you cut trees and cash only so plan ahead. Friendly family owned operation. Better tree selection than the place in Jacksonville but if you're used to tree farms out west or on New England, don't expect that here. But for this part of the state, it's a good find!

The ice cream is New Zealand style soft serve, which is jam packed with fruit. I tried the blueberry basil which was absolutely delicious. They also offer other more traditional style ice cream like cookies and cream. The nice little touch they add is putting biscoff cookie or other cookie with every scoop. The cute store is worth a peruse to look at cook books, plants, and other perfect giftables! And save some time to look at the farm animals. There's a herd of friendly alpacas, a coop of chickens (and a free roaming rooster) and even some goats. The animals are so cute and friendly! I will say the parking lots get kind of full, but there's definitely a good amount of spots. You might just need to be a little patient.

When you arrive there is plenty of parking located in front of the shop and off to the side. The farm feels like it a boutique, modern, animal experiences, and elevated eats/drinks. To walk into the farm you'll proceed through the middle of the complex where there's a second level to the right and a market to the left. We first checked out the animal exhibits which included alpacas, goats and chickens. I had never seen alpacas up that close. Then headed over to the food truck for some soft serve ice cream. I ordered the New Zealand style blueberry basil in a waffle cone which was excellent. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by holl & stone for ice cream and everything else it has to offer.
