🌲🌲A Visit to the Christmas Tree Farm 🌲🌲

Some farmers farm Christmas trees! They plant them and sell them like a farmer would any other crop. Then they harvest new ones. We headed to one such farm, Stokoe Farm, to cut down our own Christmas tree before the next turnover, which is apparently highly beneficial to the environment based on this article from the Nature Conservatory. It is something I always wanted to do…

But first, a hot beverage

There were Douglas Firs, Frasier Firs and Concolor fir

The saw we’d be using

Into the trees we go

There were some disagreements about what tree to take home

When it was decided, we got to cutting

There she is

Ready to load on the tractor

Now it gets a shake
