Visiting a farm in winter is colder, wetter, windier & muddier than in the city. Dress warmly & wear good boots.

Please leave your dog at home…but do bring the kids, grandma & grandpa.

Tree Care

All species of trees must be cared for properly to make them last. Proper care includes:

KEEP THE TREE OUTDOORS out of the wind and sun until you are ready to put it up.

IF TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE FREEZING a tree can be kept in the garage in a bucket of water.

BEFORE YOU PUT THE TREE UP make a fresh straight cut about one inch from the bottom. This opens up the tree trunk so it can take water.

KEEP THE TREE AWAY FROM THINGS SUCH AS FIREPLACES AND HEATERS that may prematurely dry the tree.

USE A GOOD QUALITY TREE STAND that will hold the tree securely and hold at least 4 litres of water.
