A New Year

AS 2010 comes to a close Morse Farm would like to thank everyone who came to see us. We had a good year and are looking forward to 2011. We had some ups and downs but all of you folks are the reason we are here. Thank you. We have decided to extend our maple syrup sale at 10% off until we start sugaring again next March, so that is good news for you if you didn't take advantage of the sale earlier. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year !!

Snow storms over

Now that we can actually see out of our windows and the wind and snow has died down the skiers are out in full force. Lots of visitors have stopped here thru the holidays but this storm has held some captive for days, and now they are stopping in to see us and take advantage of our syrup sale and the many other items we still have on sale here. So shovel out your yard and stop in to see us soon.

Whats next ?

We are pretty much done with the Christmas rush although today is the Wed. before Christmas and we have been quite busy in the store with last mimute customers. The phones aren't ringing off the wall like they have been in the past and it isn't elbow to elbow and lines to cash out. I guess everyone has found their perfect gifts at last. So now we are waiting for it to snow and snow big for the Morse Farm Ski Center. So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow !

Almost Over

Tues. the 21st of Dec. people have figured out that Christmas is coming, ready or not. The mail orders have slowed down and the phone has stopped ringing off the wall. Didn't think we'd get thru all the madness some days but we are still here with smiles on our faces. The wreaths are all gone and only two little trees are left. If you want to ship now we are telling folks to say Happy Holidays on their gift cards because it probably won't arrive for Christmas now. We still have many gifts to choose from and we will gift wrap it for you while you wait. What service!
Merry Christmas from Morse Farm .

It's Cold !!!

Oh baby, it's cold outside. There is your regular cold where you can't feel your fingers or toes but that isn't really cold. You know it's cold when it takes two hands to shove the dog out the door to go p.... and she stands there with one leg in the air because putting all four down would just be too cold, and she's giving me a dirty look. Yes, they can do that. Also when your nose hairs freeze in your nose that is a sure sign. When you spill the gallon of water for the windsheild to get defrosted all done your pants and it instantly freezes to your leg, thats when you know its real cold. Also when its only eight degrees and you go outside and it feels positively balmy, thats when you know its been way to cold !!!

Music?

People and phone calls and kids with frozen mittens
Cookies and candy and warm Holiday wishes
Morse Farm gift boxes done up with great care
folks hoping that the perfect tree will be here
When the wind blows,when the cold bites, and I'm feeling overwhelmed
I simply remember my favorite friends and then I don't feel so bad.

We are sooooo Famous

E-mails and phone calls are pouring in, folks are recording it from the TV. What is all the excitment about? We were on Jeopardy last night! The question was about Vermont attractions in Vermont and we were mentioned. The gentleman was from NY and knew the answer to what the state capital was. We have been on some food networks before and on the local news at times but this looks like we have gone big time now.I think this is pretty cool to be known on national television. Go Morse Farm.

Syrup Sale

All our Maple syrup from today thru Christmas is on sale 20% off ! So even if you buy a case of syrup which is already 10% off we'll take another 10% off to make it a whole 20% off. What a deal. Probably the best deal you'll find this season. Our sale table is getting smaller as folks enjoy finding just the right thing and have it be on sale is a little bonus. There are many sales thru the store so stop in for your syrup deal and you just might find some other goodies too. Happy Holidays!

17 days to go

With only 17 shopping days left for all the holiday prep it would be so easy if that was all there was to do... was get ready for Christmas. Shopping for the last few gifts, baking, getting all the groceries for the meal, wrapping the last gifts....easy right? Well when you throw in 4-7 extra deer hunters every weekend for meals and using the house for a deer blind, a birthday, a new grandson being born, a Motorcycle Riders Christmas party, and work, it makes it a little tricky to fit it all in. I guess thats why its called the hustle and bustle of the season. I just would like to know where those darn elves are that I hired. Slackers!

Winter storm

They are talking about a winter storm. Right now I guess it is just a watch. Us Vermonters don't pay much attention to that kind of stuff, just pull up another dog to keep warm if the power goes out. We've had our own kind of storm of people calling us and using the web to order for Christmas. Busy, busy which is a good thing for us. Trees went out of here over the weekend like crazy and our new tree stands sold great too. Saturdays sales for wreaths was like a blizzard so let the wind and snow blow, we are open and ready to help you with the Holidays.

What was he thinking

Yesterday a man came in to get a tree. Burr had just left to deliver a big tree in Montpelier and cut more boughs which we couldn't seem to keep in the yard for people. He said to call Tom if anyone needed help with a tree. So in he came and said he wanted the tree netted to go in his vehicle and would go park up by the netting machine. No problem, I'll call Tom. Tom said he'd be here shortly but it wasn't hard to put a tree thru so maybe see if he could do it, if I could give him a
box cutter to cut the netting. So as I started out the door the guy drives by with the tree in the back of his pickup. Why did he think he needed to net it when he had a truck? I asked if he was all set and he said yes and told me he forgot he had the truck and didn't need to net it. Go figure!

Time flys

Only three more weeks until Christmas. Many folks have called or been in the store to get their goodies sent and on their way. If you want your gifts to arrive in time for the holidays you need to call us soon. It's funny how we say we still have plenty of time and the next thing you know it sneaks up on you and you're late getting it done. Opps! Don't let that happen to you. Give us a call or stop in soon.
Dash thru what snow we have with your jingle bells on and let Morse Farm get it done for you.
