Our Tree Farm

Make your Christmas special

Boys Home Christmas Tree Farm

Think of us during the holidays. When you select a beautiful, fresh tree from our farm, you’ll support us financially and support a unique and very important Boys Home activity. It’s a huge team effort and an important source of revenue.

  • The farm involves many students throughout the calendar year.
  • In the spring, our students set out transplants and plant seedlings.
  • In the summer and fall, they shear trees and groom fields.

During the winter, they cut and deliver trees for wholesale and assist with the Choose & Cut sales at the farm.

Boys Home Christmas Tree Farm began as a bequest from Joanne Tannehill, who left her Augusta County property as a teaching and learning experience for our boys. Since then, we’ve received support from Virginia Tech, The Virginia Christmas Tree Growers Association, the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, the Richard & Caroline T. Gwathmey Trust, Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers, and our friends and neighbors.
