Trees of Christmas Past

🎄 In this in(tree)guing episode, we explore an abandoned Christmas tree farm in Oregon that found new life thanks to Mark Rohlfs, of Santa and Sons. What began as an overgrown, forgotten land became a source of “Natural Noble Firs”, prized for their rustic, unshaped look. Customers embraced the wild aesthetic, while unused boughs were turned into wreaths, garlands, and regrowth materials, proving nothing was wasted. 

🔥 The conversation also touches on devastation and resilience after the 2020 Oregon wildfires, which destroyed large portions of the farm, including thousands of seedlings. Instead of giving up, the land was cleared and replanted, beginning yet another new life for the Christmas tree farm. 

🎁 Wrapping up this chat, we diving into Cassie's childhood working on her grandparent's Christmas tree farm. Happy holidays & stay warm, Creepy People!
