OUR STORY
In October 2012, we purchased 70 acres of raw farmland in Clarke County with the dream of creating a Christmas tree farm. We fell in love with this land – its rolling hills, open fields, wide views of the Blue Ridge, and history. A secluded stand of woods inspired its name: Haven Wood Farm.
In the spring of 2013, we planted the first 2,000 seedlings by hand, with the help of friends and family. We’ve continued to plant, labor, and learn every year since.
We are thrilled to share our version
of the American dream with you –
welcome to Haven Wood Farm!

CHRISTMAS TREES
We are currently growing over 19,000 trees across five different varieties:
Douglas Fir, Canaan Fir, Concolor Fir, Black Hills Spruce, and Norway Spruce.
Most of our larger trees are Douglas Fir and Canaan Fir.
Douglas Fir
Douglas Fir is one of the most popular Christmas tree varieties due to its full form, soft needles, excellent needle retention, and pleasant citrus scent. Our Douglas Fir crop includes trees up to 10+ feet tall.
Concolor Fir
Concolor Fir's soft, feathery needles make it a uniquely beautiful Christmas tree option with good needle retention. Our selection of full-sized Concolor Fir is limited.
Canaan Fir
Canaan Fir is a close cousin of the Fraser Fir but grows better in our region. Its short, soft needles,
stiff branches, and strong needle retention make it a very popular variety.
Black Hills Spruce
Black Hills Spruce grows naturally into an attractive Christmas tree shape with stiff branches and short needles. Like most spruces, needle retention fades after a few weeks. Our selection of these trees is quite limited.
HISTORY OF THE LAND
Located in the northern Shenandoah Valley, Haven Wood Farm sits
in the Long Marsh Run Rural Historic District, surrounded by history.
On October 17, 1750, George Washington surveyed a 265-acre tract that included our farm.
This survey created a new parcel from Lord Fairfax’s holdings for conveyance to Mr. Thomas Loftan. In 1770, George Washington’s cousin, Warner Washington I, completed his nearby estate, Fairfield. From 1834 until 1841, our farm was part of the Fairfield estate, owned
by John Richardson. During the Civil War, military movements surrounded the farm. Nearby engagements included the Berryville Wagon Train Raid, the Battle of Cool Spring, and the Battle of Kabletown. From 1869 until 1880, this land was owned by Frederick W.M. Holliday, who served as governor of Virginia from 1878 until 1882.
