We have gone here for three years even though there's a Christmas tree farm within walking distance of my house (yes, I have been to it). The prices are more than fair and the adventure of the drive and u-cut in nature is superb. My advise is to be very confident in which section you get your tree from, as some varieties are contained within the same area. It's a big price difference if you are on a budget for the doug fir. In any case, the business is fair and the field staff is amazing.

Wowie! Let me start off by saying Saturday afternoons are busy!! We (My friend and I) walked in and…read morethere was a line so we were put on the waitlist and they called when there was a table open for us. We had to wait for about an hour, no worries we know Saturdays are busy. Everything else went very smoothly service was quick even with the amount of people there and we never felt rushed. It was very fun to paint and all the tools are labels and easy to read. BUT the one thing they didn't have was pencils. Thats easy to get over though with how much fun it is to paint pottery! Would recommend if you need a fun place to go.

This place was a blast! Plenty of space upstairs and downstairs for a small group of 2 or a large…read moregroup of 8 people to sit comfortably. You pick from a large selection of pottery to paint and prices are on the underside. An entire wall of paint with as many colors as you want. You come back in a week to pick up your finished piece. Staff is so friendly and helpful for first timers. They also have a large selection of tea and food to have while you paint. I absolutely loved this experience with the 5 other girls I went with. Will definitely be back to paint more pottery

None of the employees were wearing masks as they stuck their heads into my vehicle to give…read moreinstructions. The tree we purchased was $25. We handed the older female employee a $20 and a $10... she was holding on to the money as if she didn't have change. As I was waiting for my change she asked if we wanted candy canes instead (!?!?) we both said "no" awkwardly. Moments later, we found and handed her a $5... she took it and did not hand over the original $10, I said "oh we're just giving you exact change now" .. she then asked two more times if we wanted a candy cane.... We both said "no" and she said "okay" and walked off with our money...!?! I don't know about the average person, but this was awkward and not worth arguing with a potentially unstable person over $10. Very strange interaction that I would avoid. Wouldn't recommend.

I got my tree here the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I never put up a tree so early but last year…read moreeveryone was sold out mid December, soooo... I was blown away by the beautiful trees which were priced so reasonably! And since you actually cut it down yourself you get a good look at it and It is VERY fresh! Should last through Christmas, even getting it so early in the season, with adequate watering. I didn't go into the shop as my son did that, but he said they were very nice and it didn't take him long to do the transaction. He did not, however, get one for himself because he wanted a larger tree than could be found on this acreage. Mine was perfect for me at about 6 feet tall. There were not a lot much taller than that. But my tree looks amazing, I am so pleased!

Love this store so much as they have lots of cool pretty treasures and cute little gifts and such.read more

I've been a fan of Marie's Bees for so many years now! Marisa has built an amazing business not…read moreonly selling honey-based products from her own bees, but providing education about the importance of bees. It's always a joy to see her booth set up at a local vendor show or farmer's market. And it's easy to order products from her website if I run out between shows! My favorite to order is one of her creamed honeys (my favorite is the Cinnamon). And at a recent Christmas craft show I bought her Gardener's Wax salve which has been wonderful on my dry skin this winter! I also love to grab a bottle of her fabulous Honey Oxymel as a gift for my mom, who uses it to make lovely salad dressings. I even took a cheese-making class from Marissa once, and hope at some point to have time to do it again! Marie's Bees is a wonderful, local, women-owned, family-owned business that I hope to "bee" able to support for years to come!

I attended a special Yelp cheese making class with Marisa at the Chuckanut Center. What a fun…read moreclass. Marisa is such a great teacher and host. During our class we learned the basics of making mozzarella cheese. Repetition always helps me learn, and in this case we were able to repeat the process a couple of times which really helped me feel confident in home-made cheese making. We learned how to check the process as we worked through to make sure things were progressing as they should. Knowing the steps and how the cheese should be looking was a big help. We learned how adding honey to some cheese varieties can provide an unusual and tasty addition. It was eye-opening to see how much milk makes this much cheese (no wonder cheese can often be expensive!) During our class, we made a couple of batches of farm cheese with fruit and herbs (from the on site garden) as well as a batch of mozzarella (some in balls and some in string cheese form). These are highly interactive classes with lots of opportunities to take part in the process. If you like learning and doing, Marisa's classes are the best!
