A Visit To Plow Farms

It was the second weekend in December. 
We actually had plans to go to a *different* Christmas tree farm that day, and we drove all the way out to it only to find that they were done cutting trees for the season. You could go up and buy a pre-cut tree and that was it.

We already had plans to meet up with two of the kids' aunts and one uncle, so we immediately started Google searching for a backup. And that's how we found Plow Farms.

Bizarre thing, I called while *on the way* to Plow Farms and some sort of secretary answered. I asked her what the farm hours were that day, and if there were any extra special events going on. They were open until 5 pm she said.

Here's the kicker: upon arriving, they were also CLOSED. It felt like we had the absolute worst luck ever.
But I found someone on location who worked there (or owned the farm? I'm not sure but he had enough authority to be in charge of who was allowed on the premises) and asked if it would be ok if we just took some photos, and he was ever so kind and told us to help ourselves, and even pointed out some of the best photo ops.

The good part of this story is, we have a fake tree, so we were honestly just looking for the experience and some cool photos, so it worked out just fine. 😉 

The following photos is what we managed to get. Kudos to my kids for putting up with the INSANE amount of cold that day.


Evidently when they're open, they are known to have dogs available to pull your tree with a small sled. How cool is that?
The kids had so much fun posing in this tiny sleigh. 🤣


Tippy wanted to pretend that her dog Spice was her reindeer. 😁

He be chillin. 😄

A totally candid doggy kiss there. 💋 

Annnndddd...  that's why his nickname is "Happy". 🤩

Cutie. 🥰❤️🥰

They love their Aunt Kate. 💕 

The kids thought this truck was so cool!

One final photo with both of their aunts AND their uncle (who was visiting from Alaska so that was super special). ❤️ 
A special thanks again to Plow Farms for the amazing photo ops, and their kind hospitality for letting us wander around unsupervised. 
Going off of the kindness of the gentleman I spoke to and that alone, I highly recommend this family-owned business and look forward to visiting their farm during operational hours this coming holiday season. 🌟
