Shop LOCAL Christmas Tree Farms!

December 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Here at Evergreen Valley Christmas Tree Farm, we’re grateful that you are “Shopping Local” this Christmas, including “shopping local” for Christmas trees!

Thank you for supporting local businesses like our farm that help keep local economies going.

Farm visitors ask about our farm – wanting to know if we are “corporate”.’

To answer that question, Evergreen Valley is a family-owned farm – and a farm that has 3 generations of family members that keep us operational!

Here’s a photo of our littlest farmers hard at work!

And in addition, as a small, local business, our family farm employs about 25 local people.

Our wagon drivers, cutters, and balers are all locals, including some students from local schools!

Thanks again for supporting small businesses like ours, and supporting local, family farms!

Come visit Evergreen Valley Christmas Tree Farm soon!

Christmas Trees Head To Fort Stewart, GA

December 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

A special “Thank You!” from Evergreen Valley Christmas Tree Farm to all our friends and customers for helping to support our Trees For Troops initiative!

Trees For Troops is co-sponsored by local farmers, the Christmas Spirit Foundation, and FedEx.

Thanks to all of you, a truck full of Christmas trees is on its way to Fort Stewart in Georgia – helping to brighten Christmas for military families, who give so very much in the service to our country.

We also want to thank our fellow Christmas Tree farmers for participating and supporting this annual event!

Also on the truck were 5 trees from Woodsedge Farm and 20 trees from Wycoff’s Tree Farm!

A FULL LOAD of 250 Christmas trees are on the truck – so full that we couldn’t squeeze one more tree on (we tried)!

Fort Stewart, Georgia – Christmas is on the way!

Thanks again to everyone for their support of Trees for Troops here at Evergreen Valley Christmas Tree Farm!

Official Trees For Troops Weekend Today & Tomorrow, Dec. 3rd & 4th

December 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Hey Everybody! The big Trees For Troops Weekend officially kicks off TODAY!

Evergreen Valley Christmas Tree Farm is proud to be one of the official Trees For Troops farms this year, an initiative co-sponsored by FedEx and the Christmas Spirit Foundation.

While our service men & women are deployed here and around the world, many families are missing moms and dads – which is especially hard during the holidays.

Our mission at Evergreen Valley is to help brighten the Christmas season for military families through Trees For Troops.

How Can You Help?

Supporting this worthy cause may be one of the most meaningful donations your family can make this Christmas.

For just $30, you can buy a ticket to purchase a tree for our service men and women, and fill out a gift tag to send a personal note to one of the military families that will travel with your tree.

The trees are cut, we’ll load the truck & Christmas trees for military families are ready to roll courtesy of FedEx!

It’s really simple and your small gesture can make a BIG difference.

Stop by the Trees For Troops table & learn how you can help!

All of us here at Evergreen Valley Christmas Tree Farm truly appreciate your support for our troops!
