***Now available--tree delivery and setup service!***

***Also free tree recycling***

See below for more details

  After you’ve found the perfect tree, please use our tree shaker, which is free for all our customers.   This electric-powered device removes any loose needles which may still be hanging onto inside branches of your tree so they won’t have a chance to wind up on your carpet.  It's fun to operate and customers are welcome to do so themselves.

We also have two tree balers available for those who want that service.  This equipment wraps colorful netting around your tree, compacting its branches so it is easier to handle.  There is a small charge for use of the baler.  

Also available is a tree-drilling machine so your tree will stand perfectly straight in the stand.  The Yule Stand System drills a perpendicular tapered hole in the trunk of the tree.  Our stands have a tapered spike in the center of the water bowl and the tree is merely inserted onto that spike which holds it perfectly upright.  This system has been called the "marriage saver" since every tree is perfectly straight in its stand automatically.

    Wreaths and Swags of all sizes are also available.  These are all made right here on the farm and are guaranteed fresh, just like our trees.  They also are completely free of all pesticides or herbicides. 

    Grave blankets now available  We are now also offering freshly made grave blankets.  Please contact us if you would like one as we plan to only make them to order.  See some examples below:

    Relax and enjoy the warmth and beauty of the fireplace in our salesroom.   Along with our free hot chocolate, we have wonderful fresh baked goods from the folks at Great Harvest Bakery in Champaign.  Normally available are cinnamon rolls, scones, cookies and brownies for your enjoyment.  

    ***Again this year, we are offering tree delivery and setup service.  Once you choose your tree, we'll mark it as "Sold" and arrange a time during the coming week for delivery.  We'll wait until just before that time to cut your tree so it will be absolutely fresh and then bring it to your home.  If you like, we'll even carry it inside and set it up on your stand for you.  After the holidays, we'll also return to remove it for you and recycle it.

    ***We also now are offering our own tree-recycling service.  Anyone who wants may drop off their tree after the season and we'll turn it into wood chips and use them to protect the new seedlings we put out in the Spring.

    Everything we sell comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee;  should you not be happy with something, let us know and we’ll make it right.  We're now veterans of seven years of selling trees but we remain very interested in your views on how to improve our operation and provide an even better family experience in future years.  Happy Holidays!
