Hello from Sugar Pines Farm in Geauga County for #TakeOverTuesday! We are a Christmas tree farm offering cut-your-own, pre-cut and live balled Christmas trees. The farm was started about thirty five years ago by Glenn & Carol Battles, then purchased by the current owners, Fritz & Jane Neubauer, in 2012. Sugar Pines encompasses 100 beautiful acres, including about 30 acres of Christmas trees. Species grown include Canaan fir, Fraser fir, blue spruce and Norway spruce. The farm also produces maple syrup on a small scale and digs B&B (balled and burlapped) trees in the spring and fall. . . .

We start the day with a cold morning overlooking one of our fields for cutting this year. Each tree, whether cut in the field or chosen from the barn gets a turn on the tree shaker! Speaking of our barns, fresh cut Fraser fir, Concolor fir, Scotch pine, white pine and all sorts of wreaths and greenery are for sale in the barn! . . .

Looks like everyone wants a hand in helping cut the tree down in this family! About three quarters of visitors to Sugar Pines farm cut their own trees down, for others we offer pre-cut trees in the barn. . . .

There are lots of fun activities to do while you are at the farm! Roasting marshmallows and making s’mores around our roaring fire is a favorite tradition at Sugar Pines! Santa was also kind enough to stop and see us four times this season! We’ve been good Santa, we promise! . . .

Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.

I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.

Leadership development
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.

With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.

Growing our Generation
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.

If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.

So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
