And while on the subject of farm visitors, we also enjoy having the elk pass through seasonally. Craig got some photos of them down in the valley, and then as they stomped through the hillside.

Our regular hours during tree season are:
11am to Dark
Meanwhile, our small nobles are also very important to us because they become future years' big trees. We are working to increase our crop size by planting seedlings, but it takes at least 10 years in the ground for a baby tree to reach about 6 feet. We try to keep our young trees growing, but if a tabletop noble catches your eye, please come ask about pricing.

Rustic U-Cut Basics
Our trees are unsprayed and unshaped so there is a lot of variety from which to choose, but you will not find a full, symmetrical, cone shaped tree like at most tree farms. Saws and twine are provided, along with cocoa, candy canes, and a helping hand if desired.
Don't forget your boots. Your feet and ankles will thank you as much of the hillside is still raw with mud, tall grasses, gopher holes, and blackberry brambles here and there. Gloves are also recommended to protect your hands while you saw and carry the tree. And bring your camera.
Friendly dogs are welcome, but please keep them on leash. Our chickens really appreciate this.
About Our Farm
Corner Crest Natural Farm is a small, family run business that offers naturally grown, unsprayed noble firs for sale during the Christmas season. Our U-Cut experience has a rustic feel... bring your boots and walk along the rolling hillside, enjoy the beautiful view, and choose then cut the tree that you like.
This farm has been in operation for about 30 years, but it became ours relatively recently in fall of 2008. We are learning all the time as we care for the land, reclaim it from the blackberries, and plant lots of seedlings.
Most people prefer the full, groomed, cone shape most other farms offer, but our customers like the sparse, layered look of the natural noble with its character and charm. We are not certified organic, but we allow our trees to grow as nature intended, untrimmed and without sprays. As such, there is a little Charlie Brown in a lot of our trees. You will also notice that the natural growth leaves the branches with a bit more space between them to highlight your ornament collection.
Our nobles are healthy and beautiful. We think they are perfect for a traditional Christmas. We hope you think so too and we look forward to your visit!
More details...
It has been increasingly difficult to grow nobles in the last few years as the summers have been so much hotter and dryer. The trees grow more slowly, have more brown needles, and a much higher rate of seedling loss. We are trying to find other species that might fare better with the changing climate.
Here we are:
We are conveniently located in North Plains, Oregon in Washington County and serve people from all over the Portland area.
We are less than 5 miles north of Highway 26 at either the Jackson School Road exit (number 59) or the Glencoe Road exit (number 57).
Drive times from local cities are approximately:
15 - 20 minutes from most of Hillsboro
25 - 30 minutes from most of Beaverton
35 - 40 minutes from most of Portland
