Welcome to another Christmas season at Olsen's Tree Farm(DBA GLASKOE Inc). Incidentally, the name GLASKOE represents the initials of our six grandchildren plus our last name. Graeme, Larissa, Annalise, Scarlett, Kate and Emily with Olsen thrown in between.
This year we will have a great selection of Fraser Fir, Concolor Fir and Canaan Fir - all fresh cut and grown in New York state. Plus, our usual fresh, handmade wreaths from 20" to 6'!
This has been and will continue to be a challenging year. I suffered a life threatening illness in July. A tick born disease called Babesiosis has left me with diminished physical and recall abilities. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and with your help and understanding, we should be able to continue. Your help in carrying your trees, bailing them and tying them to your vehicles will help us to carry on in this business we love so much. We will try to to as much as possible, but at this point, we must also recognize our limitations. The most important part of our business is seeing our repeat customers, year in and year out. We love watching their families grow and it has been the most rewarding experience since my father started the business in 1951.
Adding to the challenge of course is the China Virus. Because of this, we must require the use of masks and safe, social distancing at the farm. We will of course, have hand sanitizer available to all of our customers. The added threat of government forced closure adds to an already difficult situation. That said, I have faith that we will all work together to make this another joyous Christmas season - despite the outside threats against us.
God Bless you all and Merry Christmas from Sharon and Walter Olsen
