During your Christmas 2011 visit to Highland L Christmas Tree Farm, you can now take a stroll on our nature trail introduced last year. You will make your way over a hand-made rustic bridge, hike an upward trail and continue through a beautiful forest floor covered with ferns and moss under the umbrella of stands of hundred-year-old Douglas fir. The final destination will leave you in awe!
As in the past, visitors may also take a relaxing walk through the various plantings of fir and enjoy the fresh air and a fragrance that is out of this world. In past years, there have been reported sightings of owl, rabbit, deer and a variety of other birds.
In appreciation of folk who choose Highland L Tree Farm, we offer hot chocolate, hot apple cider and cookies from December 1 to 24, 2011. On weekends, you can warm up around our bonfire and enjoy a hotdog by donation with all proceeds going to BC Hospitals. Weather permitting on weekends; you can snuggle up with your family on a hayride around the farm.
Green! Green! Our Christmas trees provide many benefits to the environment. Not only do they produce oxygen, they also help to absorb unwanted pollutants in the air, particularly carbon dioxide. As well, real Christmas trees help to stabilize the soil reducing land erosion and provide a refuge for wildlife. Many visitors tell us that our true firs emit a wonderful fragrance and are aesthetically pleasing to the eye all year round!
Highland L Christmas Tree Farm is a proud supporter of British Columbia Children’s Hospital and Chilliwack General Hospital.
Trees: Our farm has 8 acres of true firs with Grand Fir and Douglas Fir available for Christmas 2011. These trees were planted between 2001 and 2003 with later plantings that also include Noble Fir, Fraser Fir and more Grand Fir.
History: Giant Douglas fir, western hemlock and western red cedar blanketed Columbia Valley when Lauretta’s great-grandparents arrived in 1895-1896. They logged their homestead, removed some of the stumps and eventually made clearings for a home barn, outbuildings and hayfields. Craig and Travis presently represent the fifth generation of the family to farm in Columbia Valley.
Location: Highland L Tree Farm is located in Columbia Valley - the rural area to the south and above Cultus Lake. It is an alpine region and our farm is situated on the southern slope of Vedder Mountain, 3 kilometres from the Canadian-United States border.
Directions: As you travel along Highway #1, you need to take the exit to Cultus Lake. After you reach Cultus Lake, you'll travel on the scenic Columbia Valley Highway that meanders around the lake and leads to our beautiful mountain valley. Once past Aquadell Acres, located at the south end of the lake, continue to "stay to the right" and follow our Highland L Christmas Tree Farm signs to your destination of 965 Iverson Road. If you get lost give us a call and we'll send out the posse to find you. We provide saws but remember to bring your camera for making memories as you hunt for the family Christmas tree.
