Beautiful Music on the farm

Sunday may not have been a sunny day but the mood here on the farm was.  We have a number of very talented staff here on the farm.  They gathered on Sunday to sing Christmas carols.  Possibly a new tradition beginning.

Our Creative Country Christmas Begins!

There is nothing like trying something new to keep life exciting.  Saturday December 6th will be our first ever Enchanted Forest Adventure.  Just one part of our Creative Country Christmas.

We are excited.  The Christmas trees smell awesome, the gingerbread cookies are waiting for you to decorate them, our craft room is ready, the farm animals are looking forward to visitors and the tractor has been filled and is ready to roll.  The wagon is ready for you.

Christmas is a time to spend together with family.  We'd like to offer you this opportunity to come and have some fun together.

Christmas Trees are here!

Today, Christmas trees have now replaced the pumpkins.  We've just created our own little forest of fresh cut fraser fir, balsam, spruce and pine.  Oh, the smell of evergreens, I love them all.  The cool, wet summer everyone lamented has given us gorgeous, lush Christmas trees.  They thrived this past season.

We do try to keep the fall here on the farm till the American Thanksgiving is over, it can be such a short season with the excitement of Christmas pushing itself into our lives.  Last weeks snow storm showed us the merits of not delaying for too long.  We were still feeding the left over pumpkins to our animals, a treat for them, when last weeks freeze descended upon us.

Monday's warm temperature was a welcome relief, the snow melted and the last of the pumpkins were scooped up and deposited out on the fields.  We got the rest of our beets harvested and James got his garlic planted. Jim has been out plowing the fields before he needs to plow anymore snow.  Amazing how fast you can move when you see how quickly winter weather can come.  Can't complain, we're not in Buffalo.

With our winter urn workshop successfully behind us we look forward to getting ready for the Coming of Christmas.  Along with decorating winter urns and wreathes, we're baking our Christmas cookies, the market is lighting up with colour, and Fairy Tale Lane and our forest trail are becoming enchanted.  The farm is buzzing with the anticipation of a very Creative Country Christmas.

Come join us in our celebrations.  Check out our events page for full details of all that is happening on the farm this December.

We're opening daily beginning Saturday November 29th.
Looking forward to seeing you.
