π² Farm Update Friday π²
Hey Abbey Farms friends! We've got some exciting news to share with you about our Christmas trees! π
In the video below taken while mowing (sorry for the bouncing), you'll see that some our pine trees have put on over a foot of new growth this year and are looking incredibly healthy. πΏ The lush green growth is a testament to the care and attention we've been giving them, and we couldn't be more thrilled with their progress.
Right now, we're in the midst of the shearing process to ensure that each tree is shaped for the holiday season. Stay tuned because we'll be posting a video or pictures of this process later. π₯πΈ
