2025 Planting season is officially over. This year we were able to get 1820 trees in the ground in 1 day thanks to the help of two hardworking high-school students.

We did a large planting this year to prepare for our opening season in about 3-4 years. We put in 720 Canaan Firs, our signature tree, 500 White Pines, 500 Scotch pines, and we are trialling 100 Conocolor Firs. If you have never smelled a Conocolor Fir, I’d highly recommend it, they have such a beautiful citrus smell that is one of a kind.

Such a wonderful way to kick off the busy working season on the farm. We will enjoy this season of growth and learning.

Making memories this year was one of a kind when we were able to harvest our very first tree from our farm! We’ve learned so much along the way and although, this isn’t our premium cut, THIS TREE is perfect as I see all of the learning, love, perseverance and resilience that we’ve experienced along the way! 🎄🎄🎄

The time is finally here that we are heading out to harvest our very first Christmas tree from our own farm! We’ve learned a lot along the way and it may not be the perfect shape or a premium cut but it will be PERFECT for us! We decided to look back and remember the year we planted and we found some amazing memories that we created along the way! 🎄🎄🎄

We’ve been busy mowing and cleaning up the fields to manage weeds. So, after doing some digging, I was wrong, our profile pic was from April 14th of this year. The pic below is comparing the growth from April 14th to today! We are so excited and know we are on the right track. I love this info about tree growth stages that another farmer shared.

Day number two was just as amazing as the first at the Mid America Christmas Tree Association conference hosted by Timbuk Farms in Granville, Ohio! We have been blessed to meet some amazing individuals and families who shared so much knowledge and experience! We are even more excited to continue planting our roots and get our farm to a stage where we can welcome the community!

We had the best day at our first Christmas Tree Conference sponsored by the Mid America Christmas Tree Association and hosted by Timbuck Farms. On top of learning so many amazing things and meeting some wonderful people, we loved that our kids got to attend Christmas Tree Camp too! We are excited for another awesome day tomorrow!

What an amazing experience! We caught our bees swarming and found them in our grass. We set an extra hive with honey next to them and they moved in immediately! We continued to watch and captured the queen bee moving into her new home!

Another epic work weekend on the farm! We are trialling some new landscape trees for the first time. It’s a bit different and faster to plant so it was awesome that the kids jumped in to help. W**d management is a HUGE priority this time of year so I’m so thankful that somehow we fit it all in! I also LOVED seeing the kids enjoy this little piece of paradise (their words).
