Sugar Mountain Farms has been in business for 29 years selling Frasier fir Christmas trees on the island. Farmer Mark Trivett grows the trees in Newland, North Carolina, and brings them down to the island for the holidays. Sugar Mountain Farm is open every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wilborn Road, Hilton Head Island.
