Nature has been flocking our trees this winter & the Hampton Chronicle captured some fun pictures!!
🌲’Fir’ the BIRDS - One of the many benefits of a REAL Christmas tree is the different ways you can recycle it at the end of the season. Many communities offer free Christmas tree recycling, but you can also extend the life of your REAL Christmas tree & give the birds in your yard a real treat. Would you consider re-decorating for the birds? Tis the season of giving. Our family loves doing this & we enjoy watching the birds all winter long! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43QX06BMu40

🌲Why are you sold out of Christmas Trees already?
🌲Did you know it takes 7 to 10 years to grow a Christmas Tree on our Iowa farm?
The Carlson Tree Farm is all about the family experience of enjoying old fashioned FUN on the farm! We have seen a huge increase in business because of that!! The kids & adults love running around our 17 acres, while enjoying a scavenger hunt, playing fetch with our dogs & cuddling with kittens! Making priceless holiday memories while on the Tree Farm is the BEST PART of getting a Christmas Tree! Each year, we determine before the season starts how many trees we can sell without cutting into the next year's crop! So yes, you still see trees in our fields, but those will be our crops for 2023, 2024, 2025 & beyond!
We have been bringing in about 100 precut trees from another tree farm to supplement what we can grow on our farm & allow our growing customer base to get a tree too. Yes, it is harder for us to get those precut trees due to environmental reasons in some areas of the US.
We enjoy the size of the Christmas Tree Farm we are because we like knowing your name & sharing conversations with our Tree Farm Family Friends!
Think about this...
If we were to expand with more land. After we plant the 1st crop of trees, it would be 7 to 10 years before we would be able to harvest the trees as Christmas Trees! Long range planning!
So for our 3 Generation Family Farm, the 17 acres we currently grow trees on make us VERY HAPPY!
So if you caught the KCCI story about our tree farm, they missed a VERY LARGE portion of why we are sold out of trees already for 2022!
We appreciate all of you visiting our farm to make Priceless Christmas Memories!!

Willow is the Mama to 8 AKC Purebred Lab Pups. Sophie is the Grandma. Mama Willow has been doing an AMAZING JOB but Sophie decided she wanted to help & also started producing milk. So both Willow & Sophie are now feeding the 8 pups! They are VERY HEALTHY CHUNKY PUPPIES! We wondered what role Grandma Sophie might play in Mama Willows 1st litter of puppies & now we know!!! We love our Christmas Tree Farm Labs!!! #labpuppies #christmastreefarm #onelittertwomamas #twomamasfeedingpups
