Christmas Tree Season 2014

Our favorite time of year at Corner Crest Natural Farm has arrived again.  This is our seventh season selling Christmas trees from our hillside in North Plains, Oregon and we are so happy to be here.  

We offer naturally grown Nobles that are unsprayed as well as unshaped.  Our selection includes trees of all sizes, including many very tall Noble firs that are great for vaulted ceilings.  The branches grow in tiers so decorations can hang freely, giving it a look which is sometimes referred to as a Layered Noble.  This traditional Christmas tree is a lovely way to highlight your ornaments, as well as a healthy way to bring holiday spirit into your home.  

We primarily sell U-Cut Christmas Trees with a rustic, small farm experience.  We provide saws and twine as well as hot cocoa, honey mint tea, and candy canes.  We are always happy to give you a hand and we usually have only one or two cars of people here at a time, except on our busiest days.  Most folks that come to our farm like to take their time hiking around and enjoying the view while they choose their tree.  We are on the edge of the forest and overlook the valley.  

Our trees are not planted in rows, but rather in the shadows of the older nobles to help the young ones survive the summer sun.  The natural growth also leads to more variety and character among the trees which can make the selection more of an adventure.

We lack the Certified Organic Christmas Tree label, but our Christmas trees are grown without sprays and artificial fertilizers.  We have found that unshaped trees seem less susceptible to pests and fungus, so they are naturally healthier too.  You can be confident that our trees will not bring harmful chemicals into your home, and that our farming practices do not put them into the environment.  In fact, farming Christmas trees like this is good for the planet.  

Each tree absorbs more than 1 ton of CO2 in its lifetime and each acre provides the daily oxygen requirements of 18 people.  Live trees are renewable, keep plastic out of landfills, and conserve the resources used in manufacturing them.  

Last year Craig planted about 200 seedlings, mostly Noble Firs as usual, but for the first time we also included some Grand Firs.  These young trees ensure the sustainability of our crop for the future.  We are excited that this year some of the seedlings that Craig planted our first year here have grown into lovely Noble Firs that would be a nice fit for some of our customers who like a smaller tree.  In the coming years, more and more of what we sell will come from Craig's plantings as they grow into mature Christmas trees.  

We hope you come to share a little holiday spirit with us here at Corner Crest Natural Farm.  Meeting new people and seeing friends from years past is truly a highlight of our Christmas season.
