Our fields
Forty acres planted in blocks by age, from seedlings to the trees ready this year.

Ten years for one tree
A 7 ft Nordmann fir is about ten years old. This is what happens on the hill before you cut it.
Year 1
Seedlings
Planted by hand in spring, 6 ft apart, in rows that follow the slope.
Years 2-5
Weeding and mowing
Sheep graze between the rows; we mow the rest twice a summer.
Years 6-9
Shaping
Each tree is trimmed by hand in July to give it the Christmas shape.
Year 10
Your tree
Tagged in autumn, cut in December, replaced by a seedling in spring.
Choose and cut on the hill
Walk the rows, pick your tree and we lend you a saw, or choose one already cut in the barn. We shake it, net it and help tie it to your roof.
