Nearly 12 years ago I sold my exotic bird breeding business and small farm and moved to my daughter and SIL's farm. I build an apartment on the back of their farmhouse and we live in separate quarters but they still have access to my side through their office and can keep an eye on me to be sure I do not get into any trouble.
Here on this farm they raise Christmas Trees and each year they open from the day after Thanksgiving until the weekend before Christmas and we celebrate the old fashion Christmas with customers and friends for an entire month. Families come each year to tag their trees early, then return to cut them closer to Christmas. We have a small Christmas shop with gifts usually made by individuals for the benefit of their favorite organization, and some things we make here just for fun. We give away gifts to all i.e. coloring books, toys, puzzles, etc. to everyone. Those are donated by me usually. Along with that we sell the trees we grow at a price all can afford plus we have hot chocolate and cookies for all. I am going to share what life if like from Spring to Christmas with those of you who are interested. I hope you find life on the farm as rewarding as we do.
