Welcome to Greene Meadows Farm
It is our objective to provide a traditional Christmas experience to our friends, neighbors,
and customers.
We invite you to come out to the farm and search through over 7 acres of trees or choose from our
selection of fresh pre-cut trees featuring the Concolor Fir.
After you've either cut a tree from the fields or
selected a pre-cut tree, visit our Christmas Shop, enjoy a cup of complimentary Hot Chocolate or Cider and a Candy Cane, and
browse our selection of ornaments and other decorations and gift items.
Augment your traditional family decorations
by choosing a freshly made wreath, swag, or garland.
Visit the lambs and don't forget your camera...you'll want
to capture the moment or take a picture of the beautiful mountains and scenery. | A Note to Our Friends, Neighbors, Loyal,
and New Customers... It's
hard to believe but Christmas is almost here. We've been busy preparing for your visit sprucing
up the farm. This is a year round job but takes on a higher priority during November. Every year it seems to faster
and faster. As
I mentioned in the update I will pick up the Pre-cut trees the week of Thanksgiving from Pennsylvannia and Southwest Virginia.
My PA supplier was only to fill a portion of my requirement this year, so more trees will be coming from Southwest
VA. We will have Concolor, Fraser, and Douglas Firs in a variety of heights to include 12-14 ft Douglas
Fir. For
our Concolor Fir customers, we will
continue to have a nice selection pre-cut trees from our supplier in Virginia. Remember all of our pre-cut
trees are cut the week of Thanksgiving and are stored out of the wind and sun to preserve freshness. For choose and cut we have a nice selection
of White Pines and a very reduced selection of Canaan Firs, and Spruces. The drought has fortunately not impacted
us significantly, we were able to water our newly planted seedlings, but we still need about a week of easy rain.
Watch out for the baby trees when walking the fields. By popular demand, we continue to offer our Greene
Meadows Farm private label preserves and jelly's that include Apple Butter, Black Berry Preserves,
Pumpkin Butter, Horseradish Mustard and Hot Pepper Jelly. These items make great stocking "stuffers" and great
gifts for friends and family. Remember to reserve a jar or two for your own enjoyment. Based on demand, we will also continue to offer the Krinner Tree Stand;
you may recall Anne refers to it as the "marriage saver" stand. Once you see the demonstration you'll want
one. Santa continues
to be impressed with the letters he received last year from the farm and has agreed to provide the "Special Mail Box"
again this year. As you may remember John had a long talk with Santa five years ago and he agreed to
give us a special mail box for direct mailing to the North Pole. So if your interested in sending Santa a
letter, you can bring it with you to the Farm or we will have paper and pencils so you can write one during your
visit. An Elf from the North Pole Post Office comes down after each weekend and picks up the letters so you can
be sure Santa is going to see them. Santa let John continue to borrow one of his old sleds for the Farm for pictures. A Ho Ho Hogan and Big Bo Update....The same report as
last. Both Hogan and Bo think they're puppies even though they are 10 years old, they still think there puppies.
Needless to say at around 80 and 100+ pounds they are not ready to venture down freely to the selling area. We still
hold out hope that one day they will be able to take there place on the farm greeting customers like Koda did. We bring
them down on occasion on the leash. Anne's shop that
we built last year will be open with tree care supplies, wreaths, and unique items to include ornaments,
mugs and decorations. As we have done over the last 3 years, Anne will set up the cash register on a table infront
of the doors under the porch. This approach is favored by our customers and is more efficient. We will continue
our tradition of offering complimentry hot cup of cider or hot chocolate and coloring books and candy canes. We say this every year and it is true...The
most enjoyable part of the farm is visiting with our friends and neighbors who return each year to make us a part
of their Christmas and meeting the new folks who venture out to Greene Meadows in search of that traditional Christmas
experience. For your convenience we accept cash and credit
cards.
We look forward to seeing you again this year!
