Paintings that I did, landscaping with a brush. 😁

Here's a collage of my larger works done in 2025. Hmmm, what shall I paint next?

Just wanted to thank everyone who came out and bought a tree this season. I have lots of nice memories and hope you created some of your own at the tree farm. Merry Christmas to you all! See you in the new year!

Sunday the 14th. It's very cold and the trees are brittle. I would not recommend cutting a tree today. I will be at the house if you really want to get one. 217 556 3575. I should be around during the week when it's warmer digging trees and next weekend looks to be warmer. Thanks.

We have a few freshly created wreaths available too. All Scotch pine $40. Come out and find a tree. The fireplace will be cracklin' in the cabin. 6796 Mount Olive Road, Mount Olive IL. 217 556 3575

The snow is melting off the trees pretty good tonight. We will commence operations tomorrow, Sunday, at 10 am. It looks to be a cold crunchy day. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🎄⛄️

Saturday, 29th- 8" heavy snow on the ground and everywhere else. The township road has not been plowed as of 11:30 am. A few brave pioneer types have inquired about coming today. I have plowed my driveway but not much else around the cabin. The saws are on the back porch, I'll be at the house if not in the cabin. Call 217 556 3575 if you feel adventurous. Bring a broom to knock off the snow. 🙂

Christmas is drawing near! We're kicking off the season on Friday, November 28th and will be open that day and weekends from 10:00am until 5:00pm. Cut your own Scotch Pine (all sizes $40) or Norway Spruce (all sizes $50). We have many large Scotch Pines this year so don't feel bad making an 11-footer a 6-footer😀. We will also have pine roping. 6796 Mount Olive Road, Mount Olive, Illinois.

The season is starting to get "Tisy". We will have Christmas Trees again starting on Black Friday and weekends thereafter until Christmas.

I'm still landscaping, so if you have a job that's not too huge, I'm willing to take a look at it. My landline phone has been down for a week so you can reach me via messenger or try my cell at 217-556-3575. I also have about 18 7-8' White Pine trees available and a few Norway Spruce. Mulching, trimming, landscaping....

Local photographer, Brianna Hupp, did a holiday shoot earlier this month around the cabin. Big thumbs up👍
