We were in town a couple weekends back and I was determined to go to a decent pumpkin patch so we decided to take a short detour and check this place out. The farm is really a cute little place and their staff like others mentioned were very helpful and friendly. Only thing is if you dont have any kiddies theres really not much to do. They have a nice assortment of pre-picked pumpkins and lots of activities for the kids that generally cost around $2 each which I thought was pretty reasonable. I really wish we could have done the pumpkin search through the trees or did the hayride but considering I'm 6 months pregnant I decided it probably wasnt a very good idea. Instead, we all did the pumpkin launch where we got to fling baby pumpkins in the field. Overall - its a nice relaxing place to visit and a blast to bring the kids to.

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 were building out garden and want to support local store so we stop by to check this place out…read more Since we may need at least 2 sq. y and they have deliveries service, we decided to go with this place. We picked the pea gravels for the garden walk path to match with our deck and asked the register what he would suggested for the new, first time garden bed that we just built. The guy at register said promix and we took his suggestion and excited to put them in our garden bed to find out that these consist of basically 70% sand and the rest are some small pieces mulch, pebbles and clay kind of stuff (doesn't look like compose). As time goes by after putting plants in and water them for few weeks we notice nothing grow and the dirt became cakey so I decided to ask around for the opinion on this dirt and everyone think its nothing but just craps. We have to throw almost all these away as its not suitable for garden bed and we did take the issue back to the store and they said they can do nothing about it as they use the same thing on their garden bed too which I called bs. The gravels we bought was great, the dirt is trashed. Hood amount of money spent to learn the lesson.
