Where to Get a Christmas Tree Near Maryville for 2026: Two Choose-and-Cut Farms and a Local Lot
It feels early, but the Christmas tree farms and lots near Maryville start opening in the days right after Thanksgiving, which means now is the time to get your plan straight. Here is where I am pointing families this year.
If you want the choose-and-cut experience with kids in tow, you have two good Blount County options and neither is far.
Raise the Tree, Louisville. This one sits just off the Topside exit of Pellissippi Parkway at 2221 Topside Road, so it is an easy drive from Maryville. You walk the Fraser Firs yourself, and there is a campfire, hot cocoa, and s'mores while you look, so it easily becomes a whole evening with the kids. During tree season they are open Monday through Friday from 3 to 7, Saturdays 11 to 8, and Sundays 1 to 7. Order online and they deliver free in Knox, Blount, and Loudon counties, and a share of their profits goes to local nonprofits. Check raisethetree.org for opening day and holiday hours.
Bakers Creek Tree Farm, Greenback. Head about six miles past the Maryville Walmart on U.S. 411 South and you land at Bakers Creek off Henry Lane (409 Henry Lane, Greenback 37742). They grow white pines and Norway spruce you cut yourself, and past years sold at a flat price around $40. It is a quieter, no-frills farm than some of the big showpiece places, which a lot of families actually prefer. Call (865) 856-4042 to confirm this season's days and price.
If you would rather not haul the kids out to a field and cut, the Vol Firs lot at 1514 West Broadway in Maryville (at the farmers co-op) is the local standby. The Rhodes family has run it for years, and their Fraser fir sells out fast every season. It is the easiest stop if you want a tree loaded in minutes without a trip out of town.
A few practical notes. Tree season around here mostly runs from the weekend after Thanksgiving through mid-December, and farms do not always post exact dates until late in the season, so call or check Facebook before you go. A cut-your-own tree holds up well if you give the bottom a fresh cut and keep the stand full. And if the weather turns cold, bring the mittens, because nobody stays warm standing in a tree field.
This post is also linked from the Raise the Tree directory listing, and I will update it as specific 2026 opening dates land. If you have a favorite spot near Maryville I missed, let me know and I will add it.
