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 new 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. I was fortunate to get 50 additional trees this year. We will have Concolor, Fraser, and Douglas Firs
in a variety of heights to include 12 plus Douglas Fir. For our Concolor Fir customers, we will continue to have a nice selection pre-cut trees from
our supplier in Pennsyvannia and now from 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 9 years old. 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. 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!
