A humbling day...

Holiday time can be crazy for us.  Owning two businesses that peak during the month of December sometimes causes us to lose sight of the importance of the season.  Today I received a call from one of our regular customers, but I could tell almost immediately that he was calling from a distance away by the delay between sides of the conversation.  Then he mentioned that he was on deployment in Afghanistan, and he would miss Christmas with his wife and three kids, but would be home in February.  My heart slipped up to my throat and tears were streaming down my face.  I didn’t let him know.  I confirmed his order against the list from last year, thanked him for his order and for his service to our country.

I am humbled to be able to assist this gentleman with his gift giving while he risks his life for our freedom.    I will remember our conversation for a long time.  God bless you, Chris, and bring you home safely!

2011 Crop

The berries are looking wonderful on the green holly this year!  Plump and green now = lucious and red in December!

Just need to keep the babies from enjoying the new crop!

This little one is only a day or two old!

Our customer family just grew!

Our deepest thanks to Burt & Nonnie Hotchkiss from Holley Holly in Holley, Oregon . They are retiring from the holly business and have chosen Mill Creek Holly Farms to carry on with their tremendous customer base. We are so very grateful that they believe in our business enough to entrust their loyal customer to us. Thanks again Burt & Nonnie!

Spring time on the farm brings many beautiful surprises!

The Glories of Nature

Ahh, spring time - nothing like apple blossoms and rainbows!

Holly trees are not the only thing growing on the farm!

SNOW IN THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY

We awoke to a late February snow in the Willamette Valley this morning!  We seldom get snow like this and it is predicted that tomorrow there will be more! 

The view from our back door was breathtaking!
