||| FROM MANDY TROXEL for LUM FARM |||
Lum Farm will be offering Christmas Trees this holiday season. Noble, Frasier and Douglas Fir trees from 2 ft. to 10 ft. will be available. Tree sale hours are Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. at 1071 Crow Valley Rd. while supplies last (last year the trees sold out in less than two weeks!). Orcas Island Montessori will also have their Holiday Wreaths available on site. Note that the tree sale begins Friday, November 26, the day after Thanksgiving.
The Lum Farmstand will also be open during tree sale hours, so please stop by for island-grown meats and cheese for your holiday gatherings, as well as an assortment of farm-inspired gifts. Trees are first come first served, but you may order meats and cheese online at www.lumfarmllc.com for pickup at the farm.
The tree sale is a fundraiser. A portion of proceeds is donated to our island schools and the Orcas Community Resource Center Giving Tree. Last year, the response to the sale was astonishing (if not a tad overwhelming). Lum Farm was able to make donations to Kaleidoscope Preschool, the Montessori School, Salmonberry, Children’s House, the PTA Gingerbread House contest, and the Orcas Island Family Resource Center!
Lum Farm is also thrilled to host it’s 2nd annual “Winter Wooly Pop Up” on December 4th from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. This event features pop-up booths of the felted ornaments of Bossy’s Feltworks, hand-crafted porcelain ornaments by Crystal Mossman (multi-talented Lum Farm Cheesemaker), stunning hand-woven rugs and sheepskins, wool socks, yarn and more. To top off the festivities, the goat petting zoo that won over hearts during October’s Farm Tour will also be open and ready for goat kid enthusiasts.
The tree sales and pop up event will be following COVID-safe protocols. All Lum Farm employees are fully vaccinated and will be wearing masks. There tends to be a crowd, so we ask that masks be worn inside, and outdoors when social distancing isn’t possible. We look forward to everyone’s holiday cheer, patience, and community spirit!
