WelcomeEvergreen View Farm is a 4th generation small family farm since 1924. Farming is a journey for our family in taking the road less traveled & remaining open to possibility. In caring for our animals, growing Christmas trees, crops, garden, & orchard, we use restorative IPM practices with a focus on diversified sustainability & holistic management. We hope you enjoy your visit to the farm and share in its history and potential. Archives
