Updates from Moose Apple Christmas Tree Farm:

 

1.       Moose Apple opens on October 1 for pretagging. We will be open from 10am to 4pm each weekend through November 13 for pretagging. NO APPOINTMENT IS NECESSARY FOR PRETAGGING.

 

2.      October and early November are excellent times to visit the Valley and check out the Fall colors. Pack a picnic lunch, we have plenty of tables for your use.

 

3.      We will also be taking orders for custom wreaths. You can pick out the bows or pick out the ribbons and we will have your custom bow and wreath ready when you pick up your tree.

 

4.      Friendly reminder, no pets allowed.

 

5.      For the past two years our supplier of Blue Ice failed us. We have located a new source and will be receiving several hundred in May. They will be approximately 36” tall. If you want to plant some in May 2023, there will be signup sheets available throughout the season.

 

6.      Starting October 1 you will also be able to pre order pre cut Fraser Firs we will receive from Southern Virginia. If you want a larger one, it is recommended.Prices were in previous email and on the web site.

 

The weather this year has been fantastic and the trees loved it. We have thousands of our most beautiful trees we have ever grown. You will definitely like the Canaan Firs, Douglas Firs, and many very nice Norway Spruce. There are still many Concolors, White Pines, Blue Spruce, and Blue Ice.

 

Hope to see you soon,

PRE-TAG only again for 2022   

To Moose Apple Family and Friends: 

The PRE-TAG only policy last year worked even better than we expected. The policy eliminated the massive traffic jams and congestion on and off the farm.  It worked so well we are going to be able to increase the number of appointments per day.  An additional benefit of the policy was to slow sales a little. This allowed many trees to catch up and get a little taller.  We have many beautiful trees for you to checkout this season.  The Canaan Firs, Douglas Firs. Norway Spruce, and Blue Ice are beautiful.  There are still many nice Blue Spruce and Concolors.
For those of you that wanted to plant Blue Ice in your yards, our supplier has failed the last 2 years.  We have found a new supplier that has them sitting in their field right now.  We have contracted for them to be delivered in early April of 2023.  So put your name on the Blue Ice list when you tag your tree!    


What does this mean? 

Moose Apple will be open weekends from Oct 1st through Sunday, Nov 13 from 10 am-4 pm for anyone that wishes to cut a tree from the farm in 2022 to come and pre-tag their tree. After Nov13 the fields will be closed except for people cutting their pre-tagged trees. For the 2022 season, we are continuing a non-refundable $20 deposit for each pre-tagged tree.  We are going to limit how many pre-tagged trees can be cut each day. This will address the traffic congestion and long lines that have occurred on Thanksgiving weekend.  Part of the pre-tagging process will be selecting the day you plan to return and cut your tree. The limit will be 350 per day.  Once the appointments for a day are full, you will have to select any of the other days.  We will have a nice selection of precut Fraser Firs from North Carolina for anyone that comes to the farm after Nov 13 and did not pre-tag a tree.   We will be posting additional information, including pricing,  as we get closer to the 2022   season.  With all of the increased costs that have been placed upon us, expect price increases. Additional information will be posted on the Moose Apple Facebook page. More information will be emailed as the season progresses.

STAY SAFE EVERYONE.
