A SPECIAL MESSAGE - From KARL’S U-PICK in New Ross, NS

PLEASE SHARE 🎄
*************************************************

After 12 Christmas seasons at Karl’s U-pick here in New Ross, I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out over the years.

I truly enjoyed meeting you, chatting by the trees, watching kids pick “the one,” and seeing folks head back up the road with muddy boots, cold hands, and a good tree on the truck. Whether you came on a bright day or through snow and wind, I appreciated every visit.

I’m especially thankful to everyone who chose to support local — it really does mean more than you know. While I won’t be offering public u-pick trees anymore, I’ve loved every season and every customer.

And a big thank you to my nephew, Kyle! I couldn’t have done it without you.

Thanks again, and I wish you all a great year.

— Karl
