Spring rains settled soil in a newly planted field of trees, uncovering this small piece of the past. This arrowhead was found resting on the bare ground — a quiet reminder that the land holds stories far older than the Christmas trees growing there today. #HVTF#MissouriHistory
Ah, April—’tis the season for Christmas tree planting! 🌱Our tradition of planting Christmas trees each spring continues, and we got it done just in time for Earth Day! 🌎 These little fir trees will be full-grown and ready to shine by Christmas 2032!🎄

🍂 Happy Fall Y'all! 🍁 The pecans are growing well—and the squirrels have noticed! We wrap the tree trunks with tin to keep the squirrels from climbing and swiping the pecans. 🐿️ Pecan harvest is typically in early November...stay tuned! #mogrown#MoPecans#hvtf
Despite all the hot weather, our native prairie plants are putting on a show, keeping the pollinators 🐝 buzzing with happiness.

PECAN CROP UPDATE (11/8/24)
Typically, the pecan harvest begins after the first hard freeze of the fall season. We haven’t had a hard freeze yet, however the pecan shucks are beginning to dry and open, but this is a slow process. When the harvest is ready, we’ll post an update.
🍁 Fall begins in just one week and that means pecan harvest is getting closer! 🐿️ We’ve been monitoring kernel fill and you can see our earliest maturing variety, the Missouri native Peruque, is filling nicely! #mogrown#missouripecans#peruque#HVTF
Each July we visit a MO Christmas Tree Association member’s farm for their Summer meeting. It’s always a fun and informative event. Apart from sharing ideas and insight, we create connections, friendships, and memories with growers! Thanks to Pea Ridge Forest for hosting!
Farmer Vern continually keeps an eye 👀 on the emerging 2024 pecan crop. Look closely and you can see the developing pecan clusters. They are tiny now, but will grow to be the tasty Missouri pecans you love by Fall! #MOgrown#MOpecans#HVTF
FILLER UP! 🌧️ The lake level is on the rise thanks to last week's measurable precip! This beneficial rain has helped ease drought conditions as we look toward Spring. 👏#christmastreefarmer#mogrown

🐿️ PECAN UPDATE: The cold snap this week brought the hard freeze needed for the pecan shuck to open and allow the pecan to fall from the tree. Pecan harvesting and processing will begin next week 11/5. Stay tuned for the opening date of the pecan shop. #missourigrownusa#pecans
Spring marks the beginning of Christmas tree planting at the farm! Once the ground dries out from all the rain, we’ll be busy planting seedlings. #HappySpring2022#HVTF#christmastreefarm
That's a wrap for our second snowstorm of 2022! The "unofficial" snowfall total at the farm is 7 inches. What will the second half of Winter bring? #HVTF#Winter2022
