The Red Barn


This hot summer has been given over to construction on the barn, and gearing up for the tree season. Ceaser, the black rabbit, and Henny Penny, chief of the chickens, are ready for the petting zoo. Our good friend, Mark Patterson, came up to paint the barn, and of course, we found time for fishing, too. Once the barn was trimmed in white, in began to look like your grandfather's old country barn. Sandy's chickens are inspecting their new residence and seem pleased with their new digs. I took the tractor out to begin splitting logs and gather firewood for the winter. "Choose and Cut" season will be here before we know it and we still have much more to do.

Weather conditions have been great in 2010 for growing heathy fraser fir Christmas trees. We are so excited as we anticipate your visits to our farm as you walk the rows of trees and pick the perfect tree for your home. Well, off to the tree field; so much more remains to be done!
