When
I was a kid, I lived in Michigan on 10 acres of land. Actually all of
us that lived on the street had at least 10 acres. Needless to say it
was a hike just going to play with the neighbor kids. Every Christmas my dad and I had
a tradition. We would trek into our woods and cut down our
own Christmas trees. I
remember putting on my
snowsuit and boots gloves and saw in hand, that was the fun part. The
part that sucked was dragging that thing home. Not
only was it cheap, but we found the most amazing full tree's that you
just dont find at the places on the side of the road. One year we had a
tree 8 or 9 ft tall. In the Spring, for every tree we cut we planted 2
or 3 more to replace that one. I can only imagine the trees that are
back there now some 20 years later.Lake Mary residents if you havent purchased your Christmas tree already and you want to go with a real tree, dont stop by the local vendor on the side of the street. Start your own family tradition and cut down your tree at one of the near by Tree-cutting farms. Sorrento is a short 15 minute drive from Lake Mary. This is one of my favorite places to pick your own strawberries in February.
Practically a native to the Lake Mary area I have lots of tips and information about moving to Lake Mary that most dont know.
I remember Lake Mary when it wasnt much more then farm land. If you are looking to purchase a Lake Mary home then contact Heather at 407-810-6304 or hjoubran@remax.net to gain insider knowledge to the area.

My two favorite Christmas tree farms here are no longer. One simply went out of business, and the other was burned out of business in the October 2007 wild fires.
Best wishes for health, happiness, peace, and prosperity in 2009.
