Sample farm story

A tradition worth coming back to.

Evergreen Hollow is a fictional family Christmas tree farm created to demonstrate what a simple, welcoming farm website can look like.

A real farm website should reflect the people, land, traditions, and experience that make the farm special. It should help new families feel comfortable visiting while giving returning customers one dependable place to find the latest information.

Christmas starts here.

  • Two people lifting a freshly cut evergreen onto a tree cart in an open field.

    Choose-and-Cut Trees

    Walk the field, find the tree that feels right, and cut it yourself. Saws and tree carts are provided.

  • A farm worker feeding a cut evergreen through a tree baler beside a stack of pallets.

    Fresh Pre-Cut Trees

    A selection of freshly cut fir and pine trees is baled and ready to load near the barn all season.

  • A wall of handmade evergreen wreaths hanging in a farm shop while a worker hangs another.

    Wreaths and Greenery

    Shop handmade wreaths, garland, porch pots, and fresh-cut greenery while supplies last.

  • Two visitors standing beside the evergreen they picked out in the field.

    A Day at the Farm

    Warm up by the fire, enjoy a cup of cocoa, take family photos, and slow down for a little while.

Before you head to the farm

No. Families are welcome during regular farm hours unless a seasonal update says otherwise.

This is a demonstration.

Your farm's website should feel like your farm.

I'm Connor Cofoid. I grow Christmas trees, too, and I build simple, welcoming websites for farms like ours.

We'll talk about your farm, your customers, and what you want the website to feel like. I'll design and build it, work with you until it feels right, and give you a choice after launch: I can handle future updates, or I can provide a simple way for you to make basic changes yourself.
