The farm visit.
Cut firs and a separate live-tree choice
The cut-tree range lists balsam, Fraser, Douglas and concolor fir. Live trees are also offered, but the cut-fir list does not establish the species or sizes of the live selection. Ask about the particular tree and the space it will occupy before choosing.
Custom greenery and the Christmas shop
Plain and decorated wreaths, swags, porch pots and grave blankets use balsam and other fresh greenery. Custom orders are offered, with roping, handmade bows and ornaments available for finishing touches.
The greenhouse carries poinsettias, other holiday plants, fairy gardens and terrariums. The shop also features local artists’ work and gifts. Coffee and cookies are advertised complimentary while you browse.
Make your own wreath and holiday decorations
The greenhouse hosts separate scheduled wreath-making classes from mid-November. The $55 evergreen-wreath workshop builds a wreath from balsam, cedar, arborvitae and mixed greens; bring pruners if you have them. A $48 alternative starts with a grapevine wreath and adds evergreens, pinecones, berries and a bow. Private classes can be arranged in advance.
The porch-pot workshop makes a 2–3-foot arrangement to drop into an outer planter. Know your own planter’s dimensions: basic materials and some decorations are included, while the source also offers decorative planters without saying that every planter or extra decoration is included. Other choices include an approximately three-foot evergreen angel built around a wire cage with a face, halo and bow, and an almost three-foot evergreen gnome with a Santa hat and mittens.
Register in advance through the selected class page; fee classes require full payment at registration. Participants receive 10% off purchases that day. Confirm space, materials and the selected class conditions before paying. The December 12 sugar-pinecone centerpiece listing has an inconsistent-looking 3am–4pm time: contact the shop for the actual start and end time before arranging that visit.
A separate November 6 sugar-pinecone holiday-tree craft is intended for children aged 10 and over. Hot-glue guns are used, so the shop asks parents to make sure their child can handle one safely. This is a booked $29 workshop, separate from browsing the shop or buying a tree.

Parking for a busy shop or class visit
Extra parking runs up the hill past the front door and propane filling area. The road loops around the barn so drivers do not need to back out. In the busy season, class visitors may be directed to parking behind the barn; follow staff directions rather than blocking the approach.
