Christmas 2024

Sold out of trees - we are now closed

We have had the usual busy couple of weeks and it’s been lovely to see so many friendly faces and four legged friends.

The barn is now closed for the season and we have sold out of potatoes, eggs and honey.

There are some offcuts available outside the barn, please help yourselves.

Wishing you all a very restful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

After care of your tree
We take delivery of all of the trees at once and they are all cut at the same time.  If you choose and take your tree home late November, early December, it is a good idea to keep your tree outside for as long as possible in order to help it retain its freshness.

Caring for your tree - its possible that we have already cut the base of your tree (all part of the service) but if not we advise that you to cut about 1cm off the bottom of your tree and water it as soon as possible and as often as needed in order to retain its freshness once inside - please also try not to place the tree near any heat sources.

Please email us freeman.manselfarm@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Many thanks

Pete and Sarah Freeman

Background:

As December is often a quieter month for farming, as part of our diversification we started to sell Christmas trees.  We have used the same supplier for the last 19 years. Having built a successful clientele from Histon and beyond who return each year for another fabulous Nordman β€œnon drop” tree. We have also introduced other items of produce for sale, wreaths, potatoes from the Fens, eggs and local honey from hives on our farm in Oakington.
