We are Open!

Christmas tree season 2009 is here and we are open!

The U-Cut experience we offer has a rustic feel... walk along the hillside, enjoy the view, and select a tree with character that you like. Our trees are unsprayed and unshaped, grown the way nature intended. We have nobles in all sizes, but with a particularly good selection of large trees. There is a little Charlie Brown in most of our trees, so if you don't find what you are looking for, you can head up or down the hill just a bit to one of the many other local tree farms who have a more predictable selection. We appreciate your visit either way!


It is our second year in this business and we are excited to see what it brings. Craig has substantially improved the trails and cleared lots of blackberry brambles, but care is still needed when hiking out on the ridge to find a tree. Craig also planted over 220 seedlings, but with the very hot and dry summer it seems only about 10% will survive. And just a couple days ago, he spent several hours trimming boughs from some of our very tall, mature nobles to be used by a local wreath-maker. We have learned a lot over the year and will continue to work to bring our farm into greater production.


We hope to see familiar faces from last year and get to meet new folks as well. Thanks for checking on us and happy holidays!
