BIG NEWS...

11/18/2020

** BIG NEWS!! **
With the number of calls we received throughout this past week about trees and the beautiful weekend weather in the forecast, we have been working our butts off to open the tree farm this coming weekend! We have decided to officially OPEN this Saturday and Sunday November 21 & 22! We will be open from 8-5. I think we can all agree that with this crazy year, we all are looking forward to spreading Christmas cheer!
Today, we picked up our first round of precut Christmas Trees! We will be bringing in multiple rounds of beautiful precut trees onto the farm along with our pick your own & cut trees!
We will be following Covid regulations. All staff will be wearing masks, masks are required if you are shopping in the store, only one family at a time in the store, and all hand saws will be wiped after each use.
We will also have our Christmas store open with our live wreaths and other goodies that will make for home decor or the perfect gift. Our store features items from the farm or crafts of local artisan's farm products!
Hope to see you and your family this Christmas season! Let's make it a great one!!

Woman Power...

11/10/2020

It took a lot of man power, well maybe I should say woman power too, but the Christmas Trees are officially ready for the holiday season!! If you would have told us a few years ago that we would be Christmas Tree farmers, we probably would have laughed! It was been one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, experiences thus far and we are getting excited for this season! So if you're in the area and looking for a tree for this holiday season, come and support our family's year long efforts to bring a small bit of joy into your home this Christmas!

Sometimes you have to just take a moment, no matter how busy life can get, to just stop and appreciate all of life's little blessings! Happy Monday everyone... let's make it a great week!

Samoyed Pumpkins!

10/23/2020

We've been enjoying this beautiful fall weather in Central Pennsylvania these last few weeks! Yesterday, up popped this cute little surprise in our email! This is a hand crafted pumpkin made from Samoyed dog yarn that we spun up in our mill for one of our very creative customers! Believe it or not, this was hand dyed using cranberries! I wouldn't have expected this outcome of the color, but the variations throughout are stunning! Have a great weekend everyone!
