TIMBUK FARMS

My family has gone to this far for years, it started with my parents and now my wife and I take our family. PROS: They have an absolute TON of trees to chose from in just about every variety you can possibly imagine. They have buses to take you to some fields (and back), other are close enough to walk. The trees are in really good condition and usually have plenty of trees with good shape and fullness to choose from. Nice lodge with neat decorations to purchase, a concession stand and Santa and Mrs Clause is often there for the kids. You can find a really nice tree pretty quick (once you actually make it to the field...see CONS for more details about how busy they are) CONS: They are so busy you should plan to spend a lot of time there, especially if you need to get on a bus to get to your field. It will take you less time to find the perfect tree than get on the buss to get out there. They have gone from what used to be a very family owner operational feel to a much more commercialized operation feel. This commercial feel gets worse and worse every year we go. I mentioned earlier they have very nice tress, the bad part of that is that most of the farms around the same area price their trees per foot, not Timbuk. Timbuk tags each tree and the price is based on height, girth, fullness, and I am sure other factors as well. If you found the same tree at another farm that prices per foot only, you would pay at least 1/3 less at the other place if you like full trees. For an 8 foot nice full Concolor Fir tree in 2014 we paid $85 and that was not the most expensive 8 foot Concolor in the field. As our family grows and we now plan to have our children pick out a tree for them to decorate and getting the family tree I am not sure we can continue to afford the prices at Timbuk. I hate to move from what has been a tradition for so long but with the steep prices and the fact that I just don't feel at home there anymore with the commercial feel that has taken over I don't think we can prevent a change.

It was excellent, nothing negative. The price is reasonable, but not exceptional. They had the plants that my wife wanted.

I'LL BE BACK NEXT YEAR.

VERY HAPPY WITH PRODUCTS I HAVE PURCHASED IN THE PAST.
