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! . . .

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Farm Bureau involvement
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

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.
