Thanksgiving is almost here, which means Christmas is around the corner. Because we have so few trees left this year, we have decided NOT to be open our regular weekend hours. If you've already tagged a tree, or you're a previous customer who still wants to take a look, please contact us to schedule a time to come (either via Messenger or phone).

When some dear friends from Nigeria were here for a visit this fall, they wanted to see what a REAL Christmas tree looked like. Pictured here with Cindy are Babatunde and Fibi Okeniyi.
You might enjoy this part: "So," they asked, "people come and dig up the trees to take home and plant in their own yards?"😁

As expected, we've been starting to get questions about whether we'll have any Christmas trees for sale this year. With “any” being the operative word, the answer is: yes, there are a handful of trees waiting to be harvested, but we’re talking probably no more than 30 (?) trees of suitable size.

The good news is that, in spite of several recent, relatively-dry growing seasons, the new batches of seedlings John has been planting each of the past four or five years are all doing quite nicely. We’d like to think they hold promise for a much-improved selection in the future… though that’s likely a couple years off yet?

In the meantime, we feel a need to again give priority this year to faithful customers of old, thinking especially of those of you for whom a trip to Candy Cane Acres has long been a personal/family tradition. Obviously, what with such an exceedingly low inventory, many will still end up having to go elsewhere. Please accept our apology for the disappointment.

In any case, our price this year is the same: $40. If you'd like to get a tree but would prefer to cut it later, you're welcome to come ahead of time and tag it. Just give us a call: 320-679-5203 or 651-497-4917

"The cupboard is bare!" We're sorry to report that we are out of trees for this season. If you've already tagged a tree, feel free to harvest it at your convenience. To those of you who had still hoped to come this year, we will miss seeing you! We expect to have a few more trees next year, and, hopefully, a "full cupboard " once again before too long!
We wish you and yours a Blessed Christmas!!

We've been getting questions about whether we'd be selling Christmas trees again this year. The answer: yes, there are a few trees left; however, due to the low inventory, it's possible that they could all be gone after that first weekend - the weekend after Thanksgiving. As we did last year, we want to cater to previous customers. The price is the same, $40. If you'd like to get a tree but would prefer to cut it later, you're welcome to come ahead of time and tag it. Just give us a call. [320-679-5203 or 651-497-4917]

Following this past, three-day, Thanksgiving weekend's harvest, a review of the remaining stock indicates that, for all practical purposes, the Candy Cane Acres' cut-your-own, Christmas tree season has ended earlier than ever... a scenario that was not altogether unexpected, what with such a limited inventory to begin with. All that to say: we're effectively closed, as of today.
We again apologize to all who may have wanted to come but needed to hold off until a later date. Obviously, those of you who came early and tagged a tree are most welcome to return at a point in time that best suits you and claim your tree.
For now, it's hard to say what next year will hold. Just know that your call to see what's up is never an inconvenience to us!
Wishing you a special Christmas with family and friends,
John & Cindy Teichroew

THE END IS NEAR
We're talking about the dwindling of our tree stock, what with only a smattering of trees of marketable size and decent shape still standing out there in the field. As those of you who were here last year can attest, our inventory has become increasingly depleted.
DEER DEPREDATION
To further complicate matters, aggressive browsing by deer this past winter exacted a heavy toll on our trees, including many that otherwise would likely have been ready for harvest this season (see attached photo taken this past April).
THE PLAN
With such a limited selection this time around, we'd like to give 'first dibs' to our regular customers, those who've gotten a tree here at least one other time during the the past 29 years. It's always a delight to see fresh faces - folks from near and far who 'discover' our little tree farm for the very first time - but we feel a measure of obligation to the many others for whom Candy Cane Acres has become their annual 'tradition'.
Accordingly, we're reserving that very first weekend, the weekend after Thanksgiving, as a window for former customers to make their appearance and pick out a tree, either to take home with them or just to tag for later cutting. If you like, consider it a sort of 'affirmative action' plan.
NEXT YEAR?
Yes, there are still a handful of not-yet-mature trees, ones that should carry over for the next harvest season; however, because several, annual plantings of seedlings were flooded out, en masse, by that nine-inch rainfall five years ago (July of 2018), we anticipate - sooner or later, possibly next year even? - having to suspend our cut-your-own operation altogether. Guess we'll enjoy putting out our trail signs at least... one more time?
THE BIG PICTURE
John has been planting new trees - and trees of various varieties - each spring. What's more, with a dearth of rainfall these past couple of summers, he's been trying to water them regularly. He also put up fencing this fall, encircling each, new 'plantation' to hopefully deter deer traffic.
FELIZ NAVIDAD
If we don't get to see you this tree season, may you and your loved ones have a merry and memorable Christmas, and may you be encouraged by God's goodness in the new year ahead!

This post seemed to have dropped off the feed, so I will post it again....

Once again, thank you to all those who came for a tree this year. Always a pleasure to renew acquaintances with those of you who have been faithfully coming for many years, and a real treat to meet a number of new faces! Unfortunately, our inventory remains limited, and we've already harvested most of this year's crop. So, we're going to officially close for the season. If you've been a previous customer and are still in need of a tree, please don't hesitate to call (320-679-5203), and we'll do our best to make it happen.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas! 🌲

We'd love to see photos of your tree-cutting experiences or your decorated trees (or both)!

To our many friends and loyal customers: we anticipate the same schedule and routine as you've become accustomed to. Regular hours of operation starting November 26th: all day on Saturdays and throughout the afternoon on Sundays. If weekends aren't optimum, there's a good chance we can make it work for you to come another time. Just give John a call: 320-679-5203.
We have handsaws for your convenience, but you're certainly welcome to bring your own. We'll be serving hot cider and, for the kids... CANDY CANES (of course)!
But, there is a new wrinkle: we are increasing our price to $40 per tree, any size, any variety. (Sorry for keeping the bad news 'til last. 😔)
Some of you we get to see only during the Christmas tree season, but we cherish those encounters, however brief, and feel humbled by your faithful patronage. To those of you who may have other plans this time around, please accept our best wishes for your Christmas celebration and God's blessing upon you and your family in the new year.

For those of us who live in outer Minnesota, it's... GETTING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!
If anyone would like an 'oversized' Christmas tree, we have a few this year that need to be harvested. This one (see photo) is probably the tallest, better than 10 feet (that's an 8-foot ladder). If you want us to tag one for you, or if you want to come early and tag it yourself and cut it later, that's always a viable option. Just let us know.
