One of the last working ranches in the Snoqualmie Valley.
History
Keith and Scott Tree Farm is a 3rd generation family farm, located on the Middle Fork S Ranch, one of the oldest and last working farms in the upper Snoqualmie River Valley. Since 1969, our farm has been producing naturally raised prime beef cattle, lamb, hay and Christmas trees on 95 acres.
Christmas Trees
In 1974, ranchers Ewing and JoAnn Stringfellow planted a small 4-acre corner of the ranch in Christmas tree seedlings. The first mature tree crop was harvested and sold in 1980, and in 1996, a second 5-acre parcel was opened and planted. Today, the Keith and Scott Tree Farm spans 12 acres and produces five varieties of fir trees - Douglas, Fraser, Turkish, Noble, and Grand Firs.
Agricultural Roots
Our second and third generations are following in Ewing's footsteps and have been heavily involved in 4-H. The boys have all raised lambs and steers the way animals should be raised - on grass, in peaceful surroundings, roaming freely, and Tori has her own herd in Ellensburg. Each year our family produces premium quality meat that is highly sought after by several of our local butchers and chefs.
Purpose
For over 40 years our family has been providing beautiful, quality Christmas trees for generations of customers. The tree farm proceeds are used to perpetuate the farm itself, as well as provide college education opportunities for the family children. To date, Christmas tree sales have funded secondary education for 2nd generation sons Keith and Scott Stringfellow (after whom the farm is named), daughter Heather, and most of our 3rd generation - Andrew, Jake, David, and Ashley; Tori Lynn’s college will be funded next. We are looking forward to having our 4th generation - Natalie, Arya, Noah, and little Brooks - join us in working the farm as they grow up.
Thanksgiving
We are very grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ, the precious Gift, given to all of us on Christmas Day, that we have been blessed with a business that enriches both our family and our customers on a very special, personal level. We thank Him for all of the people, experiences, and love He has brought to us over the past 44 years of selling Christmas trees.
