Welcome to What Fir! Tree Farm. We're excited about seeing our ‘old’ and ‘new’ friends this year. Our farm produces some of the most beautiful and healthy 4 – 12 ft Fraser Fir Christmas Trees in the region. How healthy? Well, we haven’t sprayed any pesticides or herbicides here for almost 5 years! Our goal is to make your holiday season joyful and bountiful while keeping our environment whole. For more info about trees, including care instructions, click here.
If you’ve been here before you’ll see many familiar faces this year – most of our staff has been working with us for since we opened. Yes, Bobby and Nathanial will be up in the tree lot, Babe, Ruby, Phoenix, and the 2 Nancys will help you in the gift shop. We’re all happy to help you in any way. And of course we’ll take a family picture for you and give you a cup of hot apple cider.
What’s new in 2012?
- We’ve got an abundance of larger size trees! This means that any tree over 6-7’ is $5 less than last year. This is the first price change we’ve had in over 5 years, and the price is going down instead of up!
- Several local artists and crafters will have their work in our shop. Look for pottery, jewelry, stained glass, and other quality gifts for family and friends. Click here for more info on our Gift Shop
- We now have a large lot with ‘unshorn’ trees, ones that haven’t been sheared in 2+yrs and have a more open, natural look.
- We’ve found a great source for white pine garland, and should have a good supply this year.
- Look for more entertainment! Besides our hayride, sledding, and hiking, we’re adding other activities to make your season merrier.
- Live demos of wreath making and decorating in our back room.
