We have our tree already. Future Farmboy and the iFarmer bought it locally (translation, cheap bigbox store)…though the tree is from Canada.
I think we’ll try to switch that around next year…drive to a farm and pick out our own…like our friends do each year, going all the way to Michigan and Wisconsin for fresh trees.
I’d love to have a place like the Heritage Valley Tree Farm in Missouri, a 100-year-old family farm.
Looks like they’ve been growing Christmas trees there for almost 25 years. I wonder if it’s enough to pay the bills or if they need to diversify.
The farm apparently also has a log cabin bed and breakfast. Doesn’t look as if kids are welcome. But it’s an area I’d like to visit…to enjoy Missouri’s wine country and caves. I hear it’s surprisingly worth the trip.

Yes, Missouri wine is good… I happen to like one from the St. James Winery, although certain associates have likened it to “bad cough medicine.” Byzantines!And th caves are very cool, too…if sometimes nefarious. Remember the one that collapsed beneath a subdivision’s 23-acre man-made lake and drained it like a bath tub?!?!
