The Shed Elves have been quite active over the past few weeks getting ready for Christmas. With Chief Elves Lee overseeing their efforts, they have been diligently crafting our renowned Christmas trees for the local community. Although production has paused for now, make sure to place your orders early for next year.

Next year, we will start taking orders for trees once more. They come in various sizes up to 5 feet, making them perfect for table or room decoration.
