For the last three weekends, families have been coming out to browse for a Christmas tree, choosing from Douglas Firs or Jack Pines, anywhere from 3 feet to 11 feet. We’ve been fortunate to match many trees with visitors, but now we are down to our last few trees. We’ll still plan to be open … Continue reading Christmas Trees & Happy Households
