TREES AVAILABLE THIS YEAR: We have a good supply of Leighton Green and Naylor Blue Leyland cypress and White pine. We continue to grow Virginia Pine and have a good supply this year. We have a limited number of several other varieties of trees including Castawellan and Silver Dust leyland cypress, Carolina Sapphire Arizona cypress and a few red cedar. We have a few large cypress suitable for churches and businesses.

The sizes and prices of our choose-and-cut and pre-cut Fraser fir trees remain the same as last year.

TREES FOR TROOPS: Since 1995 the National Christmas Association and state Christmas tree associations, including the Georgia Association, have sponsored a “Trees for Troops” program through the Christmas Spirit Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity. Through this program, families living on US military bases receive donated Christmas trees from participating tree farms throughout the US. Federal Express collects the donated trees from central farms and provides free ground and air transportation and shipping supplies.
Our farm will be the collection point for trees donated by farms in the middle Georgia area. If you would like to purchase a tree for a military family you may do so at our farm. Worthington Tree Farm will donate $5.00 for each tree purchased for the “Trees for Troop” program to the Christmas Spirit Foundation. If you come to the farm after the trees have been picked up by Fed Ex you may still contribute to the Foundation online at http://www.treesfortroops.org or in person at our farm. Last year over 150 trees were collected at our farm!

FARM SAFETY: Safety will always be a priority at our farm and we strive to keep the cutting areas safe and attractive. Please remember that you will be entering a working farm and be aware that certain natural hazards are present on farms. Sticks, stones and uneven ground are part of the natural terrain. LITTLE TREE STUMPS are created with the cutting of each tree and are as much a part of the scene on choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms as snow and ice on ski slopes. Please cut your tree close to the ground as this will ensure a handle to mount your tree in a tree stand and will help to eliminate stumps in the field. Our little bow saws are sharp and our workers have been instructed to ALWAYS give the saws to an adult, never to a child. Fire ants can be a hazard. We have treated our farm for fire ants but they tend to move back from untreated farm land. Please make your children aware of the fire ant and other farm hazards and watch your small children and toddlers closely.

MAY YOU TIP OUR WORKERS? From time to time customers ask if it is OK to tip our workers. The answer is yes if the service you receive merits a tip. Our operation is a team effort involving those working behind the scene and those directly helping customers carry and tie down trees etc. All tips are collected and divided among the paid workers based on the number of hours worked. You may leave the tip with the cashier or leave it with one of our workers.

LOST & FOUND: If you lose your car keys, cell phone or other items while choosing a tree, check with our lost & found at the cashier window right away. One family spent several hours searching the fields for car keys that another customer had already found and turned in to our office. We hold “found” items until the following season, so if you lose something this year, or if you lost something last year, check at the office to see if it was turned in.

We look forward to seeing you this year!
