Corner Crest Natural Farm

Jasper with his pick.
We love to get our Christmas trees from Corner Crest Natural Farm.  It doesn't look like any other tree farm we've been to.  You can see it's not a wild forest,  because evidence of the owner's care and concern is everywhere.  Blackberries are laboriously removed, paths are clear and maintained, and trees are lovingly planted and cared for.  But the trees are not sprayed and not pruned, but left to grow in their own way and with their own unique beauty.  (Can you tell the owners are unschoolers?)  When it comes to local pick your own berry farms, I prefer to bring my son to farms that don't spray.  The air is healthier!  With a tree sharing our home for several weeks, it's really nice for it to be unsprayed as well. And we have found trees that are genuinely lovelier here.
