Justin & Rebecca are not only fantastic people, they are top notch business owners. I have ordered quite a few items from them. The customer service is stellar. They are quick to respond & quick with getting your custom made product completed. They are also incredible about helping your idea turn into something amazing. I have called Rebecca with vague ideas and she has come up with designs for items far better than my imagination. I couldn't find anything bad to say about this business if I tried unless I just made up some nonsense. They are really that good!

There are a few things that Austin seems to struggle with: pizza for one and Christmas trees…read more I understand that I cannot expect the same quality of tree as from other parts of the country with a more suitable climate. Still... I chose Evergreen because it is a family run business whose patriarch worked for the Department of Forestry. Who would know evergreens better? The atmosphere and experience were similar to most tree farms I've visited. You hop on a wagon or walk to the field of trees. It was a beautiful day so I made the short walk. When I got to the field, however, I wasn't sure what to do next. A wagon full of people had arrived minutes before me and apparently the staff was already helping them, hence there was no one to guide me. After a few minutes, though, I approached someone who looked as if he worked there. He told me that all the saws had been claimed so I just needed to wait a few minutes until one was returned. As I walked through the field I was disappointed to find that very few trees were proportional and pretty enough to be a Christmas tree. After about an hour I just picked one, even though only one side of it was suitable, figuring I would put the bad side against a wall. I didn't feel like waiting for the wagon to return so I dragged the tree back to the main area to purchase. Once I got there though, again, there was no one to instruct me. I finally figured out on my own (and after asking other customers) that I had to drop my tree at the shaker-thing, go inside the building to pay, then retrieve my tree elsewhere. The line inside snaked through the building. Only one cashier, so it took forever. When I got back outside I figured out where to retrieve my tree. The man who helped me (the aforementioned patriarch, I believe) was the only one doling out trees and he didn't seem very happy about it. After twenty futile minutes of trying to do it alone, I finally asked the patriarch if someone could help me get the tree on the roof of my car. A young kid obliged but didn't offer to help tie it, so I did it myself, driving home no faster than 40 mph and still stopping every 5 miles to readjust the tree to keep it from falling off the roof. Up until this point, few issues were the fault of the tree farm. (These places are DIY and rather intuitive, so direction need only be minimal.) But when I got the tree home and cut off the ties, I was shocked to see needles fall all over the floor. We pulled out clumps of needles and dead branches for days. The shaker-thing clearly had not done its job. The tree was more disproportionate and had more spots than I had noticed at the farm. Overall I think we did a decent job hiding them. But next year, we may have to drive to North Carolina for our tree. :)

We went to get Christmas trees at this farm. This was our first visit at this business. We had an…read moreamazing time I highly recommend this farm! We went on a hayride, however, it was not a hayride, but it was fun to be pulled up to the Christmas trees behind a tractor, all the children seem to really be enjoying it, and I enjoyed it too. They have an enormous amount of beautiful trees. It was very easy to find one that I liked. They were very well taken care of and there was enough for everybody. It was really cool cutting our own tree! The prices were too bad, I got a 6 1/2 foot tree for $95. I also got a stand for $21. I will never forget today. This farm is very clean. There is scripture on practically every wall, which was warm and wonderful. While riding on the hayride, we passed a section that had the three crucifixes Representing Jesus and the two criminals that were crucified together. They had a fantastic petting zoo where they also had a camel ; that was pretty neat. I've never seen a camel in a petting zoo before. They had lots of places to take pictures. Getting our trees at this farm is our new tradition. I highly recommend you visit.

We had such a fun time as a family despite not being dressed for the cold...our fault, not theirs! I would highly recommend if you are looking for a Christmas outing for the family. The family picture here was a pretty cool story...a young man named James (driving the tractor) saw that I was taking a picture of my people that I would not be in...he offered to take the picture for us and braved the cold without gloves to do it for us. Again, just really cool helpful folks in a fun place.

Have you ever done some goofball action and said to yourself what were you thinking? Short answer:…read more1) yes and 2) yes and recently. I was leaving to go out of town at 7 am with a small tote bag. I was about to put it in my trunk until I realized I had left my car keys inside the house. So, I get my keys and then get into my car parked in the drive way. I hear this weird noise, but did not think anything of it. I was semi-awake, so I didn't give it a second thought. When I got halfway to my destination, my hubs calls me and said my clothes and shoes were on the car pavement in front of the house. You guessed it, I drove right over my tote bag. Amazingly, nothing was damaged other than my shoe box. So off I went to the Container Store to buy a plastic shoe box to replace the one I ran over and blasted to smithereens. Did I learn my lesson...absolutely? Don't take a tote!? No. If you are leaving early in the morning pack your things in the trunk the night before.
