Over 30,000 trees of many varieties (several varieties in each of the Fir, Spruce,
and Pine families) grow on the farm. After Thanksgiving families either cut their own tree or we cut it for them. Tree cutting, transportation out of the fields, shaking, drilling, and netting are all
provided at no charge. We will place the tree in/on your vehicle, but our insurance will not allow us to tie the tree down for you. We do provide step stools and baling
twine at no charge. Customers do not need to touch the tree until it arrives at their vehicle or they can do it all, if desired. Thanks for a Great Christmas Tree Gathering Experience! (2011)...
Hi Dave and Vicki,
Just wanted to thank you for our best Christmas Tree ever... and to send some
pix that you can hopefully share with Fred and Cindy who helped us find and gather our tree (who we fondly named "Henry").We were the family who had traveled for the "White Pine" but ended up with
Henry... And we couldn't have been happier. Everyone was so friendly and warm and helpful. It was a fantastic afternoon. Christmas came and went and we didn't have the heart to get rid of Henry. So,
we've actually taken down the majority of his branches and needles and have decided to keep him in our Living Room year round ; ) We thought that after
uprooting him after all those years at Arrowhead Acres we owed him a home! June 21, 2011
The Christmas tree we bought last November (2010) was amazing. It only just now has started to brown. I never thought a Christmas tree would last this long
haha. We will be sure to buy from you again every year and we will pass this info on to all our friends. — Billy C.Dear Dave,
We just wanted to thank you for our tree this year. You offered us the Concolor Fir you'd used in your function hall. We loved it! It was a joy to keep and it
meaningfully improved our Christmas. Our two-year-old daughter took every opportunity to show off the tree. I can be a bit of a humbug; my favorite part of
Christmas is usually getting the tree out of the house. This year I was sad to see it go. — Keith, Ann, and Adele All trees $60 FREE netting

No adjustment screws. A couple of hits with a hammer and the tree stand is on straight and secure. Spin the stand counter
clockwise and it is off. A precise machine drilled hole (we provide at no charge) in the base of the tree is the secret to a perfectly straight installation. A large capacity water bowl is an
important feature of these stands. Ask for a demonstration.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE THAT BECAME
A 2011/2012 HOLIDAY TREE
A customer sent us a photo of the Christmas Tree they cut on Thanksgiving weekend and then redecorated for Valentine's Day and again for Easter. We have
had the photo of the unknown customer's Easter Tree on display in the window of one of our cashier booths for several years.Old Holiday Tree Photo
My wife Vicki thought that was such a great story that she decided to go even
further with it. The following is the documentation of what she did with our tree this past Holiday season: November 12, 2011
(1½ weeks before Thanksgiving)
The Fraser Fir tree was cut here at Arrowhead Acres and placed in our home. November 19, 2011
The tree was decorated for the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season.

Easter Tree
The moral of this story is: No tree is fresher than the tree you watch being cut at a
tree farm, and fresh trees properly cared for will hold their needles for months. The secret is putting them in water immediately after they are cut and making sure they don't run out of water.
This was an unscientific experiment and we don't recommend that you do this at home. Frankly, I was getting tired of looking at the tree by Easter, and it was
getting quite dry having it indoors for almost 5 months. Note this was a cut tree – not balled in burlap.
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
FOR CHRISTMAS TREE TAGGERS
Ever since Arrowhead Acres opened to the public, we have allowed pre-season Christmas tree tagging as an added service to our customers. We have gone to
great lengths and expense to prevent "Grinches" from removing the tags and leaving nothing but a freshly cut stump to greet the rightful owner of the tree upon their return during the height of the Christmas tree season.
During the 2005 Christmas season I'm sorry to report that the "Grinches" have run amok, leaving me to face the tears and anger of both children and adults. Every
time this happens to a family it leaves me feeling worse than the family who has lost their tree. Regrettably, we have decided to discontinue the practice of tree
tagging here at Arrowhead Acres after all these years. We were one of the last tree farms in the state to continue tagging; but we, too, must finally give in. — Dave Morin
