The Experience
News and Blog
Thank-you to all our customers that frequented our farm over the course of the 2009 season. We can not do this without you and we are extremely grateful to each one of you. Randy and I are looking thru seed catalogs and also researching a grant to defray the cost of constructing a hoophouse to aid in season extension of crops.
Randy and Earl have been cutting and splitting firewood and it will be for sale when they have several cords stocked up.
To purchase soap directly from the farmstand please call the farm phone at 868.2001. The answering machine will pick up, however as you leave a message we will pick up.
I have designed a few everlasting wreaths and will soon have pictures of them on the website. I dried a lot of flowers over the 2009 season and will be assembling wreaths and bark cones filled with dried flowers every week.
We are open 6 days per week from 9am - dusk (about 4:30pm), closed on Mondays. Our newest patch still has Blue Spruce and Fir Balsam up to 7 foot tall. The trees do not always look as tall with the snow and the wide open space. It is not a bad idea to bring a tape measure.
We have a few handmade wreaths left, plenty of herbal soaps and maple syrup.
We are open 6 days per week from 9am - dusk (about 4:30pm), closed on Mondays. Our newest patch still has Blue Spruce and Fir Balsam up to 7.5 foot tall. The trees do not always look as tall with the snow and the wide open space. It is not a bad idea to bring a tape measure.
The road leading out to the newest patch is now frozen over in good shape and with the next few nights of very cold weather we expect it to stay hard throughout the weekend at least.
Randy has continued to make fresh fir and blue spruce wreaths. We have a good supply of herbal cold process vegan soaps, glycerin soaps, local maple syrup, dried flower wreaths and several varieties of potatoes from Heron Pond Farm.
During weekends we warm up cider with spices for you at no charge. This weekend it will be nice to get warmed up after spending time out in the cold. We have a bough pile for those that desire extra greens, netting for the trees, twine, and we supply hand saws.
We are located 2 miles west of the lee traffic circle off rt 4. About 1.5 miles from the circle a passing lane begins as you drive west and Warren road is located very soon after it closes back down to a single lane. Warren road is on the right hand side of route 4 as you drive west and there is a sign and flag where Warren road leads off the highway. The farm can not be seen from the highway as you must drive in 1/3 mile to the farm.
We do not use herbicides in our Christmas tree patches and our land is protected from development. Even if you don't find the perfect tree, have a cup of cider on us,(weekends), and we can give you names of other tree farms.
The farm is open 6 days per week, closed on Mondays. Hours are 9am to dusk which is about 4:30pm. We had a very busy day today despite the weather this afternoon and are making more fir wreaths tonight.
I need to mention that the road out to the new West Field of Christmas trees became very rutted and slippery as the day progressed. This resulted in the need to close down the road but not the field. Walking up to the West Field takes about 5 minutes and people were happy to walk up. We had 4 dump truck loads of gravel placed on the road this week and hoped this would not occur. What we did not foresee was that the road would get rutted up at the far end instead of where we dumped all the gravel. This is where we had the most problems today and I must apologize to any person that had a hard time getting thru the road.
We have plenty of fir balsam, blue spruce and concolor firs up to 8 foot tall however the best selection is 5 -7 'tall. All cut your own trees are $35.00 each. The pre-cut trees have been fully stocked this morning and they range in price from 10- 35 dollars. We supply saws, twine, netting and a bough pile. Complimentary hot mulled cider on weekends only. I have many soaps in stock and most of them are unwrapped which is the least expensive way to purchase them and the most sustainable howover, I have wrapped several varieties and they look nice. New this season is our mail order soaps. It is now possible to order soaps thru our website and I will ship them for you.
For payment we accept cash, checks, visa and mastercard.

WARREN FARM CHRISTMAS TREE SEASON 2009
Our 53rd “ Cut Your Own” Christmas Tree Season is about to begin. We have the best selection of 5-9 foot Fir balsam, Blue Spruce and Concolor Fir trees that we have had in quite a few years. We have improved the road to our newest tree patch (west field) and added a parking area. This field is well stocked with balsam fir and blue spruce trees up to 8 ft. Our old patch (back field) has a selection of Concolor fir, Blue Spruce, and Balsam Fir up to 9 ft. Beginning Saturday November 21 we will be open 6 days/week, 9am to dusk. We are closed every Monday and Thanksgiving day. You are welcome to cut your tree beginning 11/21 however the free bow pile and hot mulled cider ( cider on weekends only) won’t start until the day after Thanksgiving, 11/ 27.
Our “Cut Your Own” price is $35.00 per tree. We will also have available “already cut trees” priced from $10 to $35 per tree. Saws, netting and twine are provided.
We have begun making our Christmas Wreaths and expect to have a nice selection of wreaths and door swags. Randy’s wreath designs include Fir Balsam, Mixed Fir, Blue Spruce, and White Pine. Heather is decorating a selection of wreaths and can also handle special requests. This year she is also making fir wreaths wound together with a twig base and rose hips. They have a wild country look and will look great beyond the holidays.
At the farmstand we have local maple syrup in ½ pt, pint, and quart containers, quite a few varieties of potatoes from Heron Pond Farm in South Hampton and everlasting dried flower wreaths. We are well stocked with our own naturally made soaps and will offer them packaged and unpackaged. All soaps are vegan and contain no animal products except for our three varieties of goat’s milk soap. Now you can order soaps online thru our website and we will ship them for you. Go to warrenfarmnh.com for more information, photos and a list of soaps available for shipping. Ship any amount of soap for only $5 shipping fee.
At Warren Farm our best asset is our customers. We welcome your continued support whether for a tree, wreath, soap products, or other goods. Please feel free to stroll thru our tree patches for just the right tree. People do bring their dogs, on a leash please.

I reserved space to sell our products at the Northwood Indoor Farmers Market Oct 24th, November 7th and November 21st. It is held in the Masonic Lodge right on the corner of rt 4 and 202.

There was a great selection of fresh produce including onions, beets, carrots, brocolli, swiss chard, many types of potatoes and winter squash, turnips, pumpkins, apples, local raw honey, local wines, fresh made goatsmilk cheeses, handmande soaps, local pottery, local jams, leeks and more. This was the first of 3 indoor markets scheduled so far and we are hoping to get the word out about the next 2 markets held on Nov 7th and Nov 21st from 9am to noon.
