All the awesome customers that have come out and shown support as we deal with the results of a two-year drought has been heart-warming for the Walterscheidt family.</div><div> <div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVh0WPmzjTYL6voT3PEuByWGZgIkDGRmCYL3GPV_gNTu2o-yIv_fMLvJUi4asxalGZTQxWSvvH68qLAngrLSc3McT5yEjuPw0kppeahWwbZjXJ0Y7XutJsYa3xb6K_SotwYhrFNz-JuNQ/s320/The+Yard.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549809393759542866" /></div><div><br />We have a nice selection of Fraser Firs at the farm this year. But because of the large volume of customers and the recent drought, we are no longer cutting any trees from the field at Evergreen Farms for the 2010 season. We want to make sure our trees grow nice and tall for you to cut down next year.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>HOWEVER, you can still take the wagon ride out to the "yard" to find the perfect tree, which has been watered since arriving from North Carolina and Washington state. They are set up in stands so you can stroll through the row of trees and pick which one you'd like to take home.</div><div><br />After picking your tree, you can then enjoy the campfire and roast a marshmallow or two, while drinking a cup of hot chocolate and enjoying an Elgin sausage wrap from the concession stand. Paint a pine cone to hang on your new tree, get lost in the maze, play a game of teatherball and don't forget to feed the goats.</div><div><br /></div><div>We regret that this has come to past and know our valued customers understand our situation. As farmers, we sometimes can't control what Mother Nature throws at us. Luckily, we still are able to provide a place for you to make wonderful family memories while you pick our your tree.</div><div><br /></div><div>We hope to see you out at the farm for a fun farm family experience.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>All the best,</div><div>Mike & Beth Walterscheidt</div></div>Evergreen Farms Christmas Treeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12389975525314267130noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129899006286287705.post-2924503462695285002010-11-23T10:41:00.002-06:002010-11-23T11:22:52.143-06:00$1 Trees for Troops Coloring Page<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCaPYMbYMpfpmo_JMBtamp9CpGzYHM9uWiVMZhRCYkXd5ZBWY8p66aEzsJh7QVGAcHowM9doftI0aP0W_ZdAicjpmgBSSbZoU41WWYrXFGMCoddHklZCH8tCMWttxmXs1vb915Mn62KMU/s1600/t4tlogo2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 116px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCaPYMbYMpfpmo_JMBtamp9CpGzYHM9uWiVMZhRCYkXd5ZBWY8p66aEzsJh7QVGAcHowM9doftI0aP0W_ZdAicjpmgBSSbZoU41WWYrXFGMCoddHklZCH8tCMWttxmXs1vb915Mn62KMU/s320/t4tlogo2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542796856140953922" border="0" /></a><br />Once again, we'll be participating in the <a href="http://www.treesfortroops.org/">Trees for Troops </a>program.

Fall Events” is a children's book that focuses on significant events that occur throughout Fall, including, Halloween, Election Day, Daylight Saving Time, Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving.<br /><br />“As a retired school teacher, I believe that reading with your children is one of the most important things you can do as a family,” said Beth Walterscheidt, co-owner of Evergreen Farms. “With our Pumpkin Hunt going on right now, Gephart’s book is a great education tool for parents that visit the farm.”<br /><br />The purpose of the book is to educate children, in a fun and simple format, about the real meaning behind the events we take part in. It also touches on the importance of being observant of the world around us and how we can all learn from that.<br /><br />“My passion has always been for creative writing and making a positive difference in the lives of others, especially children,” said Gephart. “I hope my new book helps kids understand the meaning behind the events we take part in and how important it is to observe the world around us.”<br /><br />Customers are welcome to visit with the author and purchase a signed copy of the book. The book will be on sale at Evergreen Farms Christmas Trees and is also available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whats-That-All-About-Events/dp/1452899991/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1286915733&sr=8-1">Amazon.com</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://evergreen-farms.com/pumpkin.php">The Pumpkin Hunt</a> is a family-friendly event where children of all ages can enjoy fall activities, like picking out a pumpkin from the field, taking a hay ride to hunt pumpkins in the Christmas tree field, getting lost in the maze, launching pumpkins and more. The event includes free admission and some events cost $2-4 a person. All activities are ongoing throughout the day, allowing families to customize their experience at the farm. The Pumpkin Hunt is held the last four weekends in October, Saturday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 – 5 p.m.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">About the Author</span><br />Heather Gephart works full-time as a project manager in the non-profit industry but has always had a passion for creative writing and positively impacting the lives of others, especially children. “What’s That All About?” is a series of children's books focused on significant events that occur throughout the seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Future books in the series will include special editions for sports, life, weather and religious holidays. Gephart lives in Austin, where she grew up, with her husband Brad and two boys, Brady and Logan.<br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span>Evergreen Farms Christmas Treeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12389975525314267130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129899006286287705.post-4371820391006634412010-10-08T09:09:00.005-05:002010-10-08T09:30:11.676-05:00The New MazeWe're always looking for ways to add new interest to the Pumpkin Hunt.

And what a great season it was! And we loved getting to see all our faithful customers, as well as meet our new customers. You (our customers) raised over $350 for the Trees for Troops program. But now that the season is over, it doesn't mean we just sit around relaxing waiting for October and the Pumpkin Hunt. Okay...there might have been a little relaxing...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhQEnCvJ1ehE6Bs2g-vEr9AGaigGvxBYtmWhPp8wkJLPcdeNWMh_m-3QfkF3JkruWozChVQeMQEmGVQU4YxXR8hYRdGFb5EkMuQ-42omxPJlzj_NGdVGvkEMRzHoGK8KtorHi5fMjG0I/s1600-h/060b.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 187px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhQEnCvJ1ehE6Bs2g-vEr9AGaigGvxBYtmWhPp8wkJLPcdeNWMh_m-3QfkF3JkruWozChVQeMQEmGVQU4YxXR8hYRdGFb5EkMuQ-42omxPJlzj_NGdVGvkEMRzHoGK8KtorHi5fMjG0I/s320/060b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430481515142012242" /></a>Our whole family recently took a week long cruise to Key West and The Bahamas. Not only was it nice to have everyone together, it was also nice to have time to decompress and get away from everyday reality. <br /><br />Instead of worrying about watering trees, we worried about how crowded the hot tub was. <br /><br />Instead of shaking a tree of loose needles, we shook our booties on the dance floor after learning the cha cha cha. <br /><br />Instead of planting seedlings, we planted ourselves in lounge chairs to sunbathe. <br /><br />And instead of starting a fire for all the marshmallow roasting, we ate lobster and tried escargo. Life was good!<br /><br />Now it's time to get back to reality and go plant some more trees. So come next season if we look a little zoned out....we're probably thinking about this:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVU4JDg9WbFU7OMgMLHGiBKexN97ANeVWu5BL6UsGj2aQr0VkAH8fRiWMt0V0neg4QWATLZ34UGgeRtPhQXWT3oI2bgx-buhvgvg7zOYkAqWzDWD9DFDRfggivpUSCWfNtlejM69GbW_s/s1600-h/178.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVU4JDg9WbFU7OMgMLHGiBKexN97ANeVWu5BL6UsGj2aQr0VkAH8fRiWMt0V0neg4QWATLZ34UGgeRtPhQXWT3oI2bgx-buhvgvg7zOYkAqWzDWD9DFDRfggivpUSCWfNtlejM69GbW_s/s320/178.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430484320598649026" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEMD0Gvel3BTTjx4lkHnAlAND_nnBbNX7GGkdAwGRMdoas3ix9idb0-Ia0i5_qX4s204ZahW3VGX7ux7zwqbFTnzykAolRNNso5AP7jXHT1wEJWjUFn_db-yyCQOL2FeJ36CH6XP4FpkQ/s1600-h/499.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEMD0Gvel3BTTjx4lkHnAlAND_nnBbNX7GGkdAwGRMdoas3ix9idb0-Ia0i5_qX4s204ZahW3VGX7ux7zwqbFTnzykAolRNNso5AP7jXHT1wEJWjUFn_db-yyCQOL2FeJ36CH6XP4FpkQ/s320/499.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430483120702342914" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6YtPk4MnP1M0P0zRf5XAQmv8VBJ_EmJdAAtVQaWfmiZf886owCKfB0VAHuqMpWrHOPPD_9XEOLf_8CXsYbW-0WTNNLiXQgfhW59W4HS2sz1get2R9rgmbKKdc_P9TLdTgHLLlLQ4_dRk/s1600-h/249.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6YtPk4MnP1M0P0zRf5XAQmv8VBJ_EmJdAAtVQaWfmiZf886owCKfB0VAHuqMpWrHOPPD_9XEOLf_8CXsYbW-0WTNNLiXQgfhW59W4HS2sz1get2R9rgmbKKdc_P9TLdTgHLLlLQ4_dRk/s320/249.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430482498416006482" /></a>Evergreen Farms Christmas Treeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12389975525314267130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129899006286287705.post-5859239785881305392009-12-28T17:54:00.006-06:002009-12-28T18:19:37.234-06:00Recycle Your Tree<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ZaS6tcP1LbvCn3qO7K7oYJ4YSAXXKM493gyjDG57wjFV9CB63j5bQkHW3ooOXoshQw9TOEqr0TGXkKi_HuSuUeRkceGiFVnCuFTn7XGAm9zawYe5XaiOpHySlH8yB1qoVeZbxn-B4XI/s1600-h/recycle_tree.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 95px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 95px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420443431899728642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ZaS6tcP1LbvCn3qO7K7oYJ4YSAXXKM493gyjDG57wjFV9CB63j5bQkHW3ooOXoshQw9TOEqr0TGXkKi_HuSuUeRkceGiFVnCuFTn7XGAm9zawYe5XaiOpHySlH8yB1qoVeZbxn-B4XI/s400/recycle_tree.jpg" /></a>Now that the holidays are winding down, you might be wondering what to do with your Christmas tree. Did you know that real Christmas trees are biodegradable? They can be recycled, turned into mulch and used around your garden. So don't just throw your tree out with the trash. Let your tree help the Earth long after you're done enjoying it during the Christmas season.<br /><div></div><br /><div>Here are a few links we've found about Christmas tree recycling in your area.

In honor of Veterans Day today, we'd like to make sure you know about our <a href="http://www.treesfortroops.org/">Trees for Troops </a>program. Trees for Troops is a national program organized by the nonprofit <a href="http://christmasspiritfoundation.org/">ChristmasSPIRITFoundation</a> that provides real Christmas trees to troops around the USA and overseas. <div><br /><div>While our farm will not be providing trees this year, we will be collecting money to help pay for the program. Every penny you donate goes directly to the program. There are two ways you can donate while you're at our farm:</div><br /><div>1. You can find a donation jar in the gift shop when you check out. </div><div>2. You can donate $1 to color a Christmas tree and write a message out to the troops, which will be delivered to the troops. We will have more information about this soon.</div><br /><div>Make sure to follow <a href="http://twitter.com/Trees4Troops">@Trees4Troops</a> on Twitter for updated information on the Trees for Troops program throughout the season.</div></div>Evergreen Farms Christmas Treeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12389975525314267130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129899006286287705.post-50795043144100217552009-10-29T22:02:00.003-05:002009-10-29T22:22:09.214-05:00Rockin' Pumpkin FinaleThis weekend we are closing out our 9th season of the Pumpkin Hunt.

And dogs love being out at the farm too. The fresh air, all the new smells and of course getting to visit with the donkey and goats. It's a fun, yet exhausting time for them. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396707537916774706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGegtGmE3xuiJYEC410HfGkTxqBOM6QSvnVn8yblJxEq91E-YRET4EY8jfl-XeydhHz2PL3aYnVd5rmB7mk9v962-tu1ff0QT9Zd7tNYDDAkcde4x7wwPmdDY8EU5xc6nVLVYrWF28Ag/s320/101_0287.jpg" />So after they leave the farm dog tired, go home and make them some pumpkin doggie treats! Perfect for this time of year. One of our favorite food blogs - <a href="http://www.delish-blog.com/">Delish</a> - recently posted this recipe:<br /><div></div><br /><div><strong><a href="http://www.delish-blog.com/2009/10/pumpkin-dog-treats/">Pumpkin Dog Treats</a></strong></div><div>1 1/2 cup wheat flour</div><div>1 cup pumpkin puree</div><div>2 Tbsp vegetable oil</div><div>1 egg</div><br /><div></div><div>Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well. Scoop a teaspoon of dough and roll into a ball. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle with a little flour. Place balls on baking sheet and press flat with fork, criss-crossing horizontally and vertically until cookies are uniform in thickness. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Let cool competely before giving to your dog.</div><br /><div></div><div>Yields about 5 dozen 1 inch treats.</div>Evergreen Farms Christmas Treeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12389975525314267130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129899006286287705.post-85865018428942713302009-10-21T21:29:00.004-05:002009-10-21T21:38:39.057-05:00Our Hard Work is Worth It<div>After months of preparations to get the farm ready for the Pumpkin Hunt, it's nice to finally get to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

This year's ornament replicates the central rotunda's terrazzo floor design with the six seals of the countries whose flags have flown over Texas. The rotunda's terrazzo flooring was installed throughout the first level of the Capitol in 1936, in celebration of the 1936 Texas Centennial.<br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div>Our gift shop will have this year's ornament on sale for $18 (same price as the Capitol gift shop). Proceeds from sales fund educational programs and preservation efforts of the Texas Capitol. Our gift shop also has several ornaments from previous years if you're missing one as part of your collection.</div>Evergreen Farms Christmas Treeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12389975525314267130noreply@blogger.com1
