Yes, you can now
Order a Tree,
either for
home delivery
or for

this year (click).
Home delivery lets you order a certain
height and species of tree, includes
delivery to your door and even a set-up
assistance, and is available for Decorah,
Rochester, and locations in between for
limited dates.
Store pickup for trees 8-12 feet also lets
you choose height and species of tree, which
will be brought to our nearest cooperating
retail outlet when we bring their wholesale
lot and you'll need to meet us there.
To
order a tree for home delivery or for pickup
at one of our cooperating Co-ops or health
food stores, follow directions on our
order a tree
page.
What's so special about our trees?
-
Specialty trees
- from tabletops for the
apartment up to 12 feet for your vaulted
ceiling or church, all hand sheared for
diversity of shape, fullness/openness,
and character
-
Chemical free
-
no paint, pesticides, or other potential
toxins or allergens applied to our
trees, just a fresh tree in its birthday
suit
-
Sustainably grown trees
- good for
soil, water, air and especially wild
life of all kinds, even kids (see more
at the OS
difference and
prairie
trees)
-
Great diversity
- Norway, White, and Blue Spruce,
Scotch, Red, and White Pine, and Balsam
and Fraser Fir - quite possibly the
greatest home-grown diversity at any
choose and cut farm in the Midwest (if
you fine a farm with more, let us know!) For a few fotos and a bit of info
on these types, go to our
species page.
