Cut Your Own Christmas Tree in Prince William County

OK, I wasn't sure whether to put this in Shopping, Entertainment, or Recreation -- as it could fit in any of those categories. I went with shopping.
So, if you are looking for a great memorable family experience -- cutting down your christmas tree -- this is it.

Evergreen Acres includes a Christmas tree farm and is located in in Nokesville (Prince William County). They grow christmas trees and will let you come; pick out your own and cut it down. They provide everything you need to cut it down (sharp saw) and will also wrap the tree for you and give you twine to put it on the roof of your vehicle. Of course a pick up truck is better.

Going to Evergreen Acres has become a family tradition for us that we look forward to and enjoy each year. They have extra things you can pick up as well -- like straw to take with you to feed santa's reindeer when they stop at your house. They also have, my favorite -- FREE HOT CIDER!!

OK, so how do you get there?
