If you're on the hunt for a live Christmas tree in the Oak Grove area of the Twin Cities, Our Farm…read moreChristmas Tree Farm is the place to go! A father and sons establishment, Our Farm has been 15 years in the making. The Ritcher family started planting trees in 1998 on their property with several varieties--Balsamic and Fraser firs or Scotch, White, and Norway pines. They offer cut-your-own or pre-cut! My family grew up with the lovely smell of pine in the house around Christmas time, and it has been a continued tradition to trek out into the woods and cut a tree ourselves. At Our Farm, you have the option to walk all around the 40 acres to hunt for your preferred tree, or one of the sons can offer to drive you into the back area (where all of the biggest and best trees can be found.) We were pleasantly surprised by the selection. We had trouble deciding because every tree seemed like the perfect one. I think the best part though was getting to enjoy the beautiful property. When we settled on the perfect tree, the Ritchers shook the excess needles off and bailed it for us. They even were kind enough to assist in tying it down to our truck's roof. The Ritchers were folksy and incredibly pleasant to chat with, telling the story of his grandad was a tree farmer elsewhere in Minnesota and they wanted to continue the family tradition. Pop Ritcher has big plans for the Farm, hoping to have hay rides, hot cocoa stations, and toboggans to haul your tree up from the back woods. Really glad too that they were open just three days before Christmas. Many tree farms are closed by now. Their prices are fair for their trees. We got a huge Norway pine for $60! Be sure to make it your tradition for Christmas, to visit the Ritchers for your Christmas tree.

The shaking of the tree is a game changer too- so many less needles at time of set up!

I had the most amazing customer experience this past week, thanks to the extraordinary efforts of…read moreSid. I needed to attach a new license plate to the front of my car, but the old screws and holder were rusted and no longer usable. I had made two separate trips to an automotive specialty store, where I was sold two different license plate kits, assured each time that they contained "everything" I needed. They did not, as my particular car model (which I'd disclosed to them) had a uniquely-sized fitting. I then went to Frattallone's Ace Hardware in Arden Hills, with my license plate and both kits in hand. Sid asked to come out to the parking lot to see my car. He took some measurements, and I followed him back into the store where he gathered some supplies. Instead of sending me on my way with a handful of nuts and bolts, Sid grabbed a power drill and said he wanted to make sure that what he was proposing would work. It did, and he ended up retrofitting the kits and securely attaching the license plate for me. The parts cost me $3.99, and he absolutely refused to take any extra compensation for his efforts. Sid went well above and beyond the call of duty. As a result, he's created a loyal Frattallone's customer for life!
