This year the entire family went to “Hunt for the Perfect Christmas tree”. Finding the perfect tree took us all in about 5 minutes this last Saturday morning.
The Smith’s came to Newberg to search for their Christmas tree also. They met at our home at 10:00 AM. The weather was so cold outside. The crisp beautiful blue sky allowed the frigid cold air through. We all decided before we left the house that we wanted to go and cut down our trees. Both Maryanne and I will only allow Noble Firs in our homes, so being up here in God’s country that should be an issue finding the perfect tree.
We had also heard about a local produce stand that had nice looking trees that were reasonably priced. We all thought we would attempt to find 2 perfect trees first and then if we were unsuccessful we would give the produce stand a try.
The first place we stopped was Jorgensen Tree Farm. I had noticed the farm during the prior weekend wine tasting trip. We pulled up and parked. I noticed there were a bunch of pre-cut Nobles and then Douglas Firs as far as you could see. Both Maryanne and I jumped out of the cars, found our tress and we were back in the barn drinking hot cider and eating cookies with the kids before anyone came to ask us how we were doing. They had really nice looking trees and they were cheap.
I have since sent 3 other families to there farm…..
