FUND RAISING OPPORTUNITIES
There two ways that we offer non-profit groups the opportunity to raise money for their worthy cause -
- operating the concession stand at our Christmas barn, or
- selling our Christmas Trees.
Our typical choose and cut season has a number of days that the weather is "brisk" at best. One corner of our Christmas barn is set up as a concession area. Many customers love to come into the Christmas Barn after they have found their tree and get something hot to drink and something to eat. Sometimes they like a hot thick soup or chili, hot dogs, or other easy to serve foods. They often select items from a bake sale such as home made breads, brownies, pastries, etc. This can be a good way for a non-profit organization to make some needed funds. We do not charge any fee or ask for any percentage of what you make. We do ask that you remove the trash from the concession area to include discarded paper plates, cups, plastic silver wear, napkins, etc.
If you would like to get additional information about operating the concession for one or more Saturdays or Sundays from after Thanksgiving to just before Christmas, please click the "Contact Us" button to the left to send us an e-mail.
Selling our Christmas Trees
Non-profit organizations often sell products to raise money for their charitable projects. Christmas trees can be an excellent product to sell. Due to the nature of many non-profit groups, the chairperson of the fund-raising committee may not have any idea of how to sell Christmas trees. You will want to look at the wholesale tree information elsewhere in this web-site but you may also want to download a free guide we offer to someone who is new to the business of selling Christmas trees.
