Trees are coming--Let the count down begin!

Christmas trees are being tagged, cut, baled up, and on their way to your home. Take a look at some fun pictures below from our Oregon Christmas tree farms as we get ready to bring these big boys to their new home!
Meet Chris Maretich, owner and founder of it all! He’s also the Papa Bear (and Grandpa Bear) of the whole clan!

Several weeks before Thanksgiving we walk the rows of trees tagging the perfect ones with these pink or yellow tags. Tagging trees lets us know which ones to cut and which ones to keep on the farm so they can continue to grow for future seasons.

Special order tree for Our Lady of Perpetual Help

This beautiful Christmas tree is yellow tagged—special ordered—for the City of Delano.

Did you know we use helicopters in our Christmas tree harvest? Well we do!

This type of helicopter is used to carry bundles of trees in slings from the farm to the landing where they are baled and ready for delivery.

Here are some pictures of our helicopter in action. Enjoy!










Pretty cool, uh? We think so! Betcha’ did think all this work went into freshly cut Christmas trees.
The trees are coming. Let the count down begin!
