We have finally found a WONDERFUL tree farm!!! The past few years have presented many obstacles when in search for a Christmas Tree. Our favorite type of tree is the Scotch Pine. We used to go to Murphy's religiously, but then a disease attacked the scotch pine's. We then tried Captain Jacks and loved it there! They even had real reindeer for the kids to pet, but then they closed. Last year I think we tried 2 or 3 different tree farms before finally going back to Murphy's and purchasing a VERY expensive tree (and one that wasn't our favorite type). This year we went on a recommendation from Tony & Lori (Andy's sister and brother-in-law) and tried out the Walnut Ridge Farm in Indianola. It was a little jaunt to get there (about 35-40 minutes) but it was well worth the trip!!! They had a TON of trees to choose from, including our favorite...the scotch pine. Oh, and did I mention cheap?! The longer needle trees (pines) were $3.00 per foot and the shorter needle trees (firs) were $6.00 per foot. We found a beauty that measured in at approximately 8 1/2 feet and only cost us $24.00! Can you believe that? I highly recommend them to ANYONE!
