Winter Storm,"Tis The Season"

    On December 11th we had the beginning of a ice storm that lasted for several days. There was alot of damage to trees in the area. We just got our electricity back this evening December 16th. YEAH! With darkness around 4:30 there is alot of evening to be had by candle light. Justamere was always in operation tho, but some things just took longer! We shipped everyday despite the weather and we continue to package orders as they come in.
    Check out our gift boxes for this Holiday gift giving. They are very popular this year! Let us do all the work for you. We make everything here on our farm and we ship 1-2 days upon receiving your orders. Place your order at justameretreefarm.com

    This past week end we had people at our farm for choose and cut. We enjoyed many smiling faces. People love to come back year after year for the experience of cutting their own tree. There is nothing like a FRESH TREE that stays green for a long time and smells like Christmas!!
