2022 Customer Gallery

 Thank you to everyone who has come by for your tree this year! It is a highlight of our holiday season to reconnect with our customers and friends each year, and get to meet new people who have found their way to our farm. If you are looking for more general information, skip to our post on the 2022 Christmas Tree Season. We wish you all a safe and happy holiday season!

Christmas Tree Season 2022

Hi! We will be open for the 2022 holiday season! 

As with the past few years, we will be open Black Friday, and then the 4 Saturdays and Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve (Sunday 12/18 will be our last day open for 2022).  We open at 11am and close at sunset.  

Our prices are below:

Christmas Trees:

• Nobles up to 8 feet - $80
• Add $10 per foot over 8'
• Ask about Doug firs $20 and up

Fresh Wreaths:

• Make your own - $10

We prefer Venmo or cash for payment, but also take checks and PayPal. 

Please note that like last year, we will not be putting our signs out on the street.  We would like to be open for people who know us and seek out what we have to offer, but we also want to reduce general traffic of people who are just coming to have a look around the farm.  

If you want a more detailed refresher on what we offer, please read our post from 2019 as not much has changed.  

We hope this holiday season finds you safe and well. We looking forward to seeing our return customers and meeting new ones who enjoy the small opportunity we offer for a little time outdoors to enjoy hiking around the hillside in the fresh air.

The summer was another challenging one for the trees. Some didn't make it and and many show signs of stress, including some burnt tips from last year.  The ones that fare the best tend to be in the shadows of larger trees that block some of the sun.

They still are beautiful and it is especially lovely to see pictures that our customers send us of their trees when they are all decorated and set up at home.

Thank you for thinking of us this holiday season.

Please email if you have any questions (I try to answer the phone too, but often miss calls and tend to be more responsive to email). Happy holidays!

Glimpses of 2022

Somehow most of the year went by in a whirlwind, and here we are again getting ready to start our fifteenth season selling trees. That is a little bit mindblowing. Things have been so busy this year that I have not updated our website along the way, so here are 32 pictures I grabbed of things from around the farm. The order got all scrambled when I uploaded them, so here is a very small sample in random order of things that were pretty or cute or funny or interesting... basically stuff that made me smile, and I hope do the same for you:

Layers and Light

Summer produce harvest

The creek cut itself deeper from the extremely wet spring. This was taken later in summer when the torrential waters had pulled back and the water settled into its course.

Happy dogs, happy Craig

Owl sighting!

One of Piper's puppies people sent flowers for the puppies first birthday!

Chickens chickening

One day a heron was perched on a log fallen across the creek

Trillium, suggesting spring

Cherry blossoms lit up at night. We were watching the bats fly around in the spring when I took this.

Frog!

Boo guarding a small radish harvest

Skies of Swirling Orange

I think these are called resurrection lillies

Al enjoying some final grazing at sunset

More harvest, including some confusing (and very large) white squashes

Local visitor

Lillies in bloom

The pack heading out on a walk

Frog on a fig leaf

Baby fir cones

Boo being a cat

Poppy, Ember, and Piper requesting treats

Artichoke in bloom

Al, due for his annual shearing

Freshly sheared

This peahen came to visit several times this summer.

This picture makes me laugh because both Ember and Piper have funny faces on

This mantis was very impressive

Dogs having a good day
