The farm also sells cut greenery, including Nobilis, Koreana and Nordman, and supplies material for wedding arches.

The trees are grown with geese grazing between the rows all year to control grass and weeds, and with organic fertilisers. Pesticides are used only when necessary. During the Christmas season the farm is open Wednesday to Saturday: Wednesday to Friday 09.00 to 16.30 and Saturday 09.00 to 17.00. The entrance and parking are wheelchair accessible. For large parties and the trade, the farm can select and label trees in the field, dig them up and arrange transport.
