It all began with a desire to be outside and grow something - the gardener in my husband is quite evident when we see what has happened to his "hobby"! Thoughts of having a second income to help put the kids through college were tempered just a bit as we learned that it is a lot of hard work and a labor of love to grow a tree to the point where it meets the ideal "Christmas Tree" standard so many of us like to purchase. But along the way, we’ve had many happy moments combined with chilled fingers and toes. And we’re always happily surprised when customers tell us they’ve come from two hours away, simply because they like the laid-back atmosphere at Morin’s.
