“They say if you want to hear God laugh, just tell Him your plans.”
We’ve certainly learned that to be true more than once. This is not an announcement we ever imagined making when we took over the operations of Elysium in 2021.
But life has a way of changing directions when you least expect it. After four years of hard work, growth, and beautiful memories made among the trees, we’ve come to realize that between rising business costs, career changes for both of us, and 6 kids with busier schedules every year, continuing to run Elysium just isn’t in the cards right now.
Elysium has been so much more than a business to us- it’s been part of our family’s story. Our kids have grown up here, from building bonfires and helping customers load trees, to chasing the dogs through the rows and greeting Santa each season. We’ll always be grateful for those years and for every person who came out to support our dream, rain or shine.
We’ve returned the reins back to the Satterfields, who are opening for the 2025 season on Friday, November 28th from 1–5pm, Saturday 10–5, and Sunday 1–5.
Please call 540-672-4512 with any questions.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our journey and for making Elysium a place filled with joy, laughter, and community. Though this chapter is closing for us, we’ll forever treasure the memories made under those trees. ❤️🌲
