Welcome
We want to thank all our customers for another successful year at South Mountain Plantation. It was good to see new faces, meet new friends and visit with our old friends during their annual visit. We are already planning our Spring planting of seedlings and thinking about new items for the Christmas shop. Thanks for doing business with us! Merry Christmas and have a wonderful new year!
South Mountain Plantation's cut-your-own Christmas Tree field and Christmas Shop will open this year Friday, November 23, the day after Thanksgiving. The awesome view from the farm's mountainside location helps you get into the holiday spirit as you wend your way through acres of carefully tended Christmas Trees. We will remain open through Saturday, December 22. We look forward to seeing returning customers who have made South Mountain Plantation a family tradition at Christmastime, and if you have never been out this way before, please do so this year. You'll be glad you did - and so will we.

Seasons greetings from all the Cline Family here on the farm. South Mountain Plantation is a family owned and operated Christmas tree Farm located on the western slope of South Mountain in Boonsboro, Maryland. Established in 1983 when the first tree on the property was planted, the farm now has 30,000 trees to choose from during the season. Varieties of trees include Douglas Fir, Fraser Fir, Canaan Valley Fir, White Pine and Blue Spruce, with new varieties being planted each year.
If you have ever wondered what the Clausfamily and elves do during the off season...
Bring the family and enjoy the family tradition of choosing the perfect Christmas tree while enjoying the panoramic views of four states. Wander through the acres of trees to find the tree just right for you. South Mountain Plantation is the place to enjoy family time and continue a tradition that will last generations. Once the perfect tree is found enjoy the experience of cutting it down with a saw provided at the farm. You don’t have to be Paul Bunyan to yell “timber!” Bring the tree back to the shop on one of the wagons provided or have the family help carry it back. The Farm provides free baling of the Christmas tree and twine to tie the tree on your vehicle. Always remember to tie the tree on the vehicle “butt” first.
In a rush, or unable to make the hike in the field to find a tree? A tree lot is available with a great selection of pre-cut trees in both size and variety. Live trees are also available to be planted in your yard after Christmas. Live trees keep the memories of Christmas alive all year long.
The Farm experience doesn’t end with getting a tree. There is a Christmas shop that provides greens and wreaths and many unique ornaments to add to the decorating experience. Pin Tree Stands are also available, making setting up the tree a fast and easy experience. Trees are drilled free for those customers with a stand.
The Christmas Shop also has an inventory of specialty handmade quilts, table runners, placemats, purses and totes. These are unique Christmas gifts for special members of your family or friends.
South Mountain Plantation prides itself on being ecologically friendly. Each acre of trees removes up to 26,000 pounds of pollutants from the air each year and provides the daily oxygen requirements for 18 people. We are committed to being good stewards of the earth, providing natural habitats for wildlife and growing a naturally biodegradable crop.
Trees, Wreaths, and Ornaments
Searching for a Christmas tree is a family activity. Many of our customers spend hours roaming through our 30,000 trees looking for just the right one for their homes... and not necessarily because it really take that long to find what they came for. The magnificent view of Hagerstown from atop South Mountain is an awesome backdrop for the hunt.
Here is a brief list of the items available here on the farm during the Christmas tree season.
- Douglas Fir, Fraser Fir, Canaan Valley Fir, White Pine and Blue Spruce, with new varieties being planted each year.
- Short trees, tall trees. Narrow trees, wide trees. Corner trees and traditional trees.
- We have many hand-made items for the Christmas Shop, along with new ornaments and unique gifts for everyone. Stop in and shop to finish off your Christmas list.
