These farms in driving distance of San Antonio let you cut down your own Christmas tree

By San Antonio Current Staff

While faux Christmas trees seem like they get more common each year, there's something special about decorating your home with the genuine article, especially if you cut it down yourself.

Fortunately, nine Christmas tree farms in the area are ready for you to come enjoy this beloved holiday tradition. We also confirmed that these have protocols in place to keep you safe and socially distanced while you're there.

If a road trip isn't in the cards for you, though, we've also included two San Antonio sellers where you can get a beautiful Christmas tree for your home.

Brungot Farms — Cedar Park
204 E Little Elm Trail, Cedar Park, (512) 750-4378, brungotfarms.com
Though they usually have outposts in both Leander and Cedar Park, Brungot Farms has consolidated its operations to the YMCA in Cedar Park this year. Not only are they setting things up with social distancing in mind, but they've also expanded their delivery options to include porch drop-off. Plus, wreath purchases from Brungot help to support a good cause — now that's what we call holiday cheer.

Spring Creek Growers
23803 Decker Prairie Rosehl Road, Magnolia, (281) 259-8114, springcreekgrowers.com
A family-owned farm since 1921, Spring Creek Growers all about offering family-friendly fun. The Houston-area attraction offers both Virginia Pine and Leyland Cypress trees, so you’ll be able to take home a beautiful tree that’ll complete your holiday decor. This year you'll need to plan ahead — the farm is limiting daily admission in order to maintain social distancing, so buying tickets beforehand is a must. They're also offering curbside pickup for pre-cut trees, wreaths and garlands.

Evergreen Farms Christmas Trees
242 Monkey Road, Elgin, (512) 281-4833, evergreen-farms.com

If you’re a real tree nut, you’ll appreciate having the option to choose between five different types of trees. The farm requires masks in indoor spaces and has social distancing and sanitation protocols in place.

With trees priced at $6 a foot, you’ll be able to snag even a monstrous tree without breaking the bank.
