What we Love
We Love the fact that so many families come to our U-cut Christmas Tree Farm and make the Sunny Day Tree Farm part of their Holiday experience. Families come and visit to experience a “family farm” where we don’t push the commercialism of Christmas. We focus on making the entire experience a relaxed, fun event for the kids… Continue Reading
Planting Christmas Trees
When do we plant Christmas Trees? We always plant in the late Fall to Winter, anytime between November and February. This year we are working hard to get the seedlings in the ground in November, as soon as the nursery has them ready to go. We’ll be planting a variety of Noble Firs, Cedars and… Continue Reading
Wreaths, Wreaths, Wreaths!
It’s Wreath gathering time! The Farm activity is centered around the gathering of wreath material for Mrs. Santa Su to begin her wreath making. A key to a good wreath is the freshness of the wreath material (limbs, berries, cones and assorted greenery). All of the fresh material is cut just prior to Mrs. Santa… Continue Reading

Natural Nobles
What do we mean by “Natural Nobles”? We don’t spray chemicals (pesticides or herbicides) on our U-Cut Christmas Trees as a farming practice. This year was the first year we had to apply pesticides to our Grand Fir and selected Noble Fir trees. Due to the extreme weather (a cold January and overly hot August)… Continue Reading
