Plants Beautiful Christmas Trees

We’re Open Folks!

I’ve just returned from the shop, full and bustling with all our elves putting the last minute touches on everything and making sure it’s just right. The weather is absolutely beautiful out and perfect for getting started on decorating the house or cutting a tree.

We’ve got apple cider heating and this year we’ve added hot chocolate and cappuccino to our beverages. And you can also purchase hot dogs for roasting around the bonfire. And be sure to check out the new haystack that we built for the kids! (My 6 and 2 year old love it!)

We’re open everyday (except Thanksgiving) from 9am until 6pm from now until Christmas!

So come enjoy this beautiful weekend and get your holiday shopping done early before the rush.

Here is another wonderful addition to our online store this year, wild rice and maple syrup! Both of the items are Minnesota grown and harvested. These two items make beautiful gifts for those you love or for yourself! Click on the pictures (or links) to access our online store and find out more about ordering.

Minnesota Grown Wild Rice

This wild rice is hand harvested by our family and some of our friends! We collect the wild rice in canoes on fresh water lakes and the possessing is done over wood fire giving it a wonderful taste and making it fast cooking. We have wild rice available in three different sizes, 1 pound, 2 pounds and 5 pounds. This is a personal one of our personal family favorites and great for the holidays!

Minnesota Grown Maple Syrup

Mhhhhh! Pure maple syrup is a treat that everyone should experience! We get this maple syrup from family friends who harvest and process the syrup right on their farm. This too is cooked down over wood fire which gives it that much more flavor. This maple syrup comes in four different sizes, half pint in a leaf decanter (as shown above), regular half pint, pint and quart. Just imagine pancakes on Christmas morning with real maple syrup on top. Yum!

Our troops of Elves have been spending a lot of time in the wreath making room lately.  People are starting to order wreaths and we’re getting the shop decorated and ready for opening in a few weeks.  Our web master has just added the last few designer wreaths that we’re offering online this year.  The pictures are linked directly to our online store where you can order and also see more detailed pictures of each wreaths unique designs.

Check back again soon as there is even more that we have available online this year and new attractions to discover here on the farm!

This year the snow and cold started early for us here and we kicked off Halloween with about 3″ of snow on the ground.  It was pretty amazing that there was that much that stuck because before that snow we’d had about two days of rain.  I think total we probably got about 6″ of snow and it was just the 3″ that stuck.  It made for a nice cold and white halloween though!

Already we’re starting to get orders in for wreaths and trees.  I think I’m behind this year because it seems so early, but then Forest keeps reminding me that it’s the beginning of November already.  Amazing!

I’ll be posting again soon about some of the new things you can expect to see at the farm this year, so check back again soon!

These wreaths aren’t your classic wreath shapes, but are some alternative and certainly beautiful live evergreen decorations. These are available in our online shop and to view close ups of the decorations just click on the picture or the link below.
