2023 UPDATE

The longer we keep growing trees, the more we understand that we are subject to the authority of Mother Nature. We had an extremely dry Spring season which made it challenging to keep alive the 2500 evergreen transplants that were planted. Fortunately, we did receive moisture throughout the summer before enduring another dry period going into Autumn. If all goes according to plan, these transplants will be your Christmas trees in @8 years.

We are slowly adding more merchandise to our barn shop and hope that you will check it out when you come in for your cup of warm cider. Thanks to everyone who has supported us in the past. We always look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones each year. Welcome to Christmas 2023!!

YES- WE CAN DRILL TREES FOR STAND-STRAIGHT AND TIM MITCHELL TREE STANDS.

BALLED AND BURLAPPED TREES

For those customers who would like to plant their tree after Christmas, we have a selection of Norway Spruce, White Pine, White Spruce and Serbnian Spruce They range in height from 4'-7'. Please note that these trees should only stay indoors for a week to ten days. If you are interested, we will be happy to give you detailed instructions on how to care for a live tree.

WREATHES, GREENERY AND ORNAMENTS

Come into the barn and find your perfect Christmas wreath, many of them handmade by Alice. You will also find a generous supply of pine roping, grave blankets, assorted greens, holly and winterberry. And while you are enjoying your complementary warm cider, don't miss the hand knit hats, scarves, mittens and wrist warmers that are created by Alice. This year we also have Fair Trade ornaments, Holiday candles and beautiful hand painted Bird House Gourds

CHRISTMAS TREES AND GREENERY

Christmas season has always been special at Corkum's. It is the time of the year that we welcome the most people to our farm and while it is a lot of hard work, the joy of seeing old friends and happy young children makes it all worth while. Our approach is very low key. We do not offer all the "bells and whistles" that many other Christmas Tree farms do, but we hope that our more laid back style also can be appreciated. We will welcome you, offer you a complimentary glass of warm cider, try to keep the winter mud down to a minimum while offering quality trees and Christmas greenery at fair prices. All of our workers are our own family members or friends who enjoy helping out during the season each year. We look forward to seeing you this season and hope that you will become an annual visitor.

KEEPING YOUR FRESH CUT TREE FRESH

To keep your tree from drying out during the Christmas season, we recommend that you:

-MAKE A FRESH CUT OF AT LEAST 1/2" ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TREE JUST BEFORE PUTTING IT IN YOUR STAND

-KEEP YOUR STAND FULL OF WATER AND CHECK IT FREQUENTLY, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS WHEN IT WILL TAKE UP A LOT OF WATER. DO NOT ALLOW THE WATER LEVEL TO GO BELOW THE BOTTOM OF THE TREE AS THE SAP WILL SEAL IT SHUT AND IT WILL BE UNABLE TO ABSORB ANY ADDITIONAL WATER

-DO NOT PLACE YOUR TREE NEAR ANY DIRECT HEAT SOURCE

-MAKE SURE YOUR LIGHTS ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THE NEWER LED BULBS GIVE OFF LESS HEAT THAN OLDER TYPES OF BULBS AND USE MUCH LESS ENERGY
