Personal photos while you are visiting, taken with a cell phone for instance, are encouraged. Professional photographers need to schedule an appointment and meet other qualifying criteria (insurance, for example). See the above links for details and to schedule a time.
can i bring my chainsaw, saws-all, battery saw etc?
Power saws of any size or type are NOT permitted. If anything runs the saw other than your elbow, leave it at home!

Features At Showvaker's

A Word about Pre-Cut TreesBuying your precut tree at a Christmas tree farm is not the same as buying from a box store or pop-up lot. Why? Because tree farmers know their product and how best to care for it. Plus we plan to be here for years to come- we won't risk selling an inferior product. Box stores often sell trees for convenience and they may sit in unhealthy conditions for weeks. Pop up lots may not always be concerned about future customers since they may not plan to return next year (this is not to say there aren't reputable vendors in this market). Another advantage a tree farmer has is the ability to cut trees as needed, keeping them at the peak of freshness. When you buy your fresh cut tree from us you can rest assured it's going to last as well as one you've cut yourself - that's our promise.
Let It Snow (or rain)Whatever the weather we will have plenty of our own trees, pre-cut and ready for you. We are setting up a 60' x 100' tent so that you can stay dry and choose your Christmas tree from the area's largest selection of fresh cut trees even when Mother Nature is not cooperating. Most varieties & sizes (up to 15') will be available. All you need to do is point to the one you want and our staff will do the rest!
Share Your ThoughtsWe do our very best to serve the many families that visit us each year and provide a fun, festive atmosphere to make life-long memories. We would love it if you shared your positive experience on Google or Facebook.
We are human though, so if we ever miss the mark, we would appreciate your constructive suggestions and a chance to make things right first. You can email us anytime at info@qualityevergreens.net
Artificial Tree Health Alert
A 2004 study published in the Journal of Environmental Health concluded that artificial trees may pose an exposure to lead. Lead is often used as a stabilizer in PVC products, including plastic trees. As the tree ages, it sheds lead dust. Lead is a known to cause serious health problems and the danger is sufficient that California requires a warning label. The study recommends wearing gloves while handling the faux foliage and preventing contact of young children with the tree.
Big Trees!
Looking for a tree 10' or over? This is the place! We have lots to choose from in our fresh-cut area, or you may cut your own. There are trees in the field at tall as 18 feet!! We are happy to assist with these monster trees, but we appreciate your understanding that we may not be able to do so during peak hours. If you have selected a tree a little too big to handle on your own, please tag it and arrange to pick up during the week when we have staff on hand to assist. Also keep in mind that trees in excess of 14' may not be able to be baled or drilled.
Decorating TipUse bows! Red, gold, silver, plaid, or whatever fits your style, ribbons and bows are an inexpensive way to add instant holiday color. You can tie bows to practically anything to add a merry touch to every room. Add a bow to a wreath or basket handle, tie to garlands, use as the topper on your Christmas tree, or stream ribbon around other festive items for an easy center piece. After the season, simply rewrap ribbon. To keep bows in good shape for next year, fill the loops with a piece of tissue paper (or use discarded wrapping paper) and pack in a plastic tote.

Santa Claus is coming! As with everything this year though, it's with a few changes. He will only be here the first three weekends of the season rather than all four. His hours are 11a-3p on Nov 28/29, Dec 5/6, Dec 12/13. Be prepared to wear a mask, skip the lap-sitting and/or meet him outdoors. This is new territory and we are still working out the details. During his off-hours, kids can leave letters in his personal mailbox.

Trees as Stress ReliefUsing a real tree may have a positive effect on your health! The presence of plants in our everyday life has been shown to have a connection to our physical and mental wellbeing. Research has shown that being around plants can have helpful influences on humans, including lower blood pressure and reduced muscle tension (Relf 1992). The logical assumption is that a real tree in one's home likely has the same ability as plants to induce a positive feeling. With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, wouldn't a little stress relief be welcome in most homes?

Hot Cocoa & CiderThis year our famous cocoa and cider will be served from a stand outdoors! Our aim is to provide elbow room inside for shopping. Please wear a mask indoors and while waiting in line outside to keep us compliant in Carroll Co. Thanks!
Wagon Wheel CafeJust one more change for 2020...we will not be serving prepared food this year. The Wagon Wheel Cafe will be open with a pre-packaged assortment of snacks, sodas, water, and Kimes' refreshing apple cider (while it lasts). Complimentary cocoa and warm, spiced cider will be served from a stand near the gift shop.
