Merry Christmas!

​Please note:
​The farm is not open
​for Christmas tree sales!

Thank you for supporting your local farming family!
​

The farm is not open for tree sales for the foreseeable future because the accessible fields do not have enough trees at this time. 
We harvest trees from our back field and bring them to you in Coeur d'Alene  at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds on Government Way.
It’s been a challenge to keep enough trees available because of deer damage, losses from drought, and increased demand. With our deer fence and drip irrigation the baby trees are looking beautiful, but it’s going to take years for them to be big enough for Christmas trees.

Christmas is coming!

Take Care of Your Tree at Home

If you're not going to put your tree in the house immediately, keep it in a shady, cool place outside
or in an unheated garage or shed.
Give it a fresh cut (at least 1/2 inch)
before you put it in water in your house.
When you bring your tree inside and it warms up
it will need a lot of water.
Once the tree warms up it will start drinking ...
​maybe a gallon a day or more
​for the first 4-5 days.
Don't be surprised by how much your tree drinks.
Check the water level at least twice a day.
A lot of water those first few days
is very important.
The tree will seal up and not drink again if the water level drops below the tree level.
