FARM NOTICES:

BEGINNING 2007 season we will not be open daily, only Thursday, Friday and weekends.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY TREE? Since your tree is fresh cut it will last a long time. But like a large bouquet of flowers it needs plenty of water daily as well as one package of tree preservative which we give you. The preservative is a gell-like substance that keeps the tree moist between waterings.

WHAT TYPE OF TREE LASTS THE LONGEST? Many people keep their tree up for over a month. Very warm homes, wood stoves or putting the tree in the picture window will shorten the life of your tree. The Fir trees are shown to be better in those circumstances but the Spruce tree lasts a medium-long time with proper care since it is fresh cut.
WHAT TYPE OF TREE SMELLS THE BEST? Smell is a personal preference. There are many different smells so crumple a few needles and take a whiff. The smell comes from the pitch which is most abundant under the water in the stand. To get your tree to smell more, take a pair of scissors and cut 1" pieces off the inner branches. BE CAREFUL you can cut off too many and be overwhelmed by the smell, do a few a day.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU SELL? We have 12" decorated balsam wreaths, 24" & 36" mixed greens decorated wreaths, 12" exotic wreaths with mixed greens and fresh ornamental plant materials. These wreaths come with a variety of bows, all others have red velvet bows. We also have balsam roping/garland as well as mixed greens mailbox covers.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING? The kids, the dog, rope for tying down your tree (we provide baling twine for normal size trees), the camera (great idea to take your Christmas card picture in September!). If you are tagging, great to have decorations to individualize your tree. We provide saws (no power saws please), sleds or the haywagon for tree retrieval, netting for normal size trees.
DO YOU HAVE A MAILING LIST? We have not in the past, we are considering one. If you have tagged your tree we have your name and address. If you are cutting only, please be sure to sign up for possible mailings. Check this web site for farm notices.
