Located north of Centerville, PA and southwest of Spartansburg, PA on Britton Run Road South - just less than a mile from route 77 |
 |
In 1949, my father, James Love and his father, Jessie, started Love's Christmas Tree Farm, a business of quality, plantation grown Christmas trees and nursery stock. Their goal was to provide the healthiest, quality grown Christmas trees and nursery stock available. |
| Having been raised in tree farming, and having studied forestry, I decided to bring the business back to life after it had been retired in 1997. With the two original farm locations and a few hand tools, I got started in the year 2000. Today, I continue my forefather's quest to provide the healthiest plantation grown Christmas trees. | |

Our farm is a natural environment with various natural impediments such as; stumps, animal borrows, and slippery areas during cold weather to name a few. Please wear proper walking shoes or boots and walk carefully while you enjoy the farm. |
 |
 |
Although we are not open all year
round - we do encourage you to visit and enjoy the natural beauty of the
farm - we do suggest you call first to make sure the farm is
accessible. |
 |
We start selling the trees when they are 5 feet tall - prices vary with the species but range from $5.00/foot to $8.50/foot Our prices include the Pennsylvania 6% sales tax. When measuring tree height, 2" are allotted for a "fresh cut" should you decide not to set up your tree immediately. We accept cash, personal checks (name, address, driver's license, & phone) and occasionally Visa (depending on data reception - which unfortunately is sporadic). If you choose – we will bale your tree for free. Baling helps to protect your tree during transport. Properly securing the tree to your vehicle is your responsibility! Be sure to bring proper and ample materials (rope, straps, etc.) for your tree. We cannot supply these items. Should you have a long distance to drive, we recommend that you also wrap your tree in a tarp to protect it from the drying effects of the wind. |

Fraser Fir Abies fraseri Grows naturally only at elevations above 4,500 feet in the Southern Appalachian Mountains from southwest Virginia, through western North Carolina, and into eastern Tennessee. A number of stands occur in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Its highest native habitat is Mt. Mitchell, North Carolina (6,684 feet). The needles have a dark green to dark blue green color on top and a bluish gray or silver underside. Fraser fir has become the most popular Christmas tree species because of it form, needle retention, dark blue-green color and pleasant scent. |
 |
|
Canaan Fir Abies balsamea var. phanerolpis Found widely within the Canaan Valley of northeastern West Virginia, this tree is a genetic variation of traditional Balsam Fir. Some speculate that this tree was the result of an ancient cross between Fraser Fir and Balsam Fir. Native also to Pennsylvania and New York, its range extends as far north as Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia. Its needles tend to be about one inch in length, and vary in color. Its foliage, however, can often retain the bottlebrush appearance of Fraser Fir. It's popularity as a Christmas tree is steadily growing. |
 |
|
Balsam Fir Abies balsamea Found throughout much of the Canadian boreal forest and remote parts of northern New England, this fir was the first plantation-grown Christmas tree in the Northeast. Its needles are about three-quarters of an inch in length, soft, dark green with a distinctive "balsam" aroma. Balsam Fir has sturdy branching and excellent needle retention. |
 |
|
White Fir Abies concolor (AKA Concolor Fir) Native to the western United States. Needles are
blue-gray to grayish-green with pale bluish bands beneath, usually 1 1/2
to 2 inches long and slightly curled. This fir has good foliage color, a
pleasing natural shape and aroma (citrus), and good needle retention. |
 |
|
Douglas Fir Pseudotsuga menziesii Its native range is the Rocky & Cascade Mountain range of America’s west. A beautiful tree with soft and fragrant needles approximately 1 inch in length – it is very similar to other fir trees in appearance however, this is not really a fir tree but in the Pine family. |

Serbian Spruce Picea omorika "Graceful" describes this tree - it makes me think of an old fashion traditional Christmas. Branches are thin and arching, needles are half to three-quarters of an inch in length. Foliage is dark green to blue green on top and the underside is bluish white to silver. |
 |
|
Norway Spruce Picea abies Native to the Baltic forests of northern Europe, this tree has shiny, dark green foliage with needles about one-half inch in length. The rich foliage of this spruce can exhibit good needle retention with proper care. |
 |
|
White Spruce Picea glauca Native range spans the entire width of northern North America. Needles are a delicate, blue-green color, about one-half inch in length. Given proper care this tree can exhibit good needle retention. Its excellent form and color make it an exceptional Christmas tree. |
 |
 |
Colorado Blue Spruce Picea pungens Native to the (U.S.) Rocky Mountain Region, needles (and tree) are stout, about three-quarters of an inch in length; color can vary from dark green to indigo blue. Sturdy branching and good needle retention make it a desirable Christmas tree but care must be taken when decorating because of the stout needles. |
 |
|
Scots Pine Pinus sylvestris Also known as Scotch pine, it is native to Europe. It was one of the first plantation-grown Christmas trees in the United States. Needles are light green to blue-green in color and two to three inches in length. Its conical shape, excellent color, and needle retention made it the Christmas tree of choice for many years. |

There is a large Amish community in this area with many assorted venues such as; Farmer’s Markets featuring fresh fruits & vegetables, Hand-made quilts, Hand-made picnic tables, Real Maple syrup, Hand-made out door furniture, and Quality Hand-made oak dinning room & bedroom furniture. At this time the community does not feel that it is within their ways to promote their individual venues on a web site, (which I will respect). But if you ask me I’ll do my best to direct you to their locations. |

Pre - Planned & Custom Log Homes |
Call for an appointment: (814) 564-0577 |

What is included with an American Log Home? We prefer to ship only the materials not available locally. Our approach to this topic is that the customer can actually save money by negotiating with a local building supply company for all these conventional materials such as windows, doors, roofing, etc. This also saves shipping charges for transporting these readily available materials from our plant to your construction site. You can alter the interior layout of an existing design, and most often with no additional cost to you. Our homes are all cut from native southern yellow pine and kiln dried. They are uniform in size to eliminate water or snow ledges on the outer walls, and to allow flexibility in finishing the interior walls. All logs are 8 inches thick. It’s your choice of log finish; round both sides, flat both sides, or outside round with inside flat |
