CUT YOUR OWN CHRISTMAS TREES NORTH OF CHICAGO IN McHENRY COUNTY -- 2007

Happy Holidays!

Oct 29, 2007

In our November greetings of 2006 we mentioned the impact which the drought years of 2004 and 2005 had on our tree crop. After last year's sales (even though we closed one week early) our inventory of harvestable trees remains low, so we will be open ONLY TWO WEEKENDS, Dec. 1 and 2, and Dec. 8 and 9.

WE WILL NOT BE OPEN THANKSGIVING WEEKEND, neither Fri., Sat., nor Sun.!

The good news is that the thousands of seedlings which we planted this past spring survived vey well because of the ample and well-timed summer rains. We look forward to a steady replenishment of our harvestable inventory.

We wish you a very merry and meaningful Christmas!

We have lots of trees from which to choose:

Colorado Spruce -- short needles, stiff branches, fairly open, both blue and green varieties

Pines -- any size, $35 -- complement your studio apartment or challenge your cathedral ceiling!

Spruce -- any size, (to 7 feet) $35.

Our trees are organically grown and pruned by hand.

10 % of tree sales is donated to the McHenry County Defenders,
"Citizens Working for a Healthy Environment."
Members of the Defenders are the volunteer workers during Christmas tree sales.

Tractor-drawn wagon rides to and from the pines, tree shaking and baling, hot coffee and cocoa in the warming house, and pre-cut pine boughs all included at no extra charge. Hand saws are also provided, or bring your own (no chain saws or axes, please). Handcrafted holiday items are available for sale in the warming house. If you bring your dog, please keep it on a leash while you are here.

We recommend printing our map to Pioneer Farm (which also has all pertinent information). You might also like the scalable maps and driving directions by Yahoo. If you've never cut a live Christmas tree before you might like this information sheet.
