Beautiful
and Distinctive
 These
beautiful and distinctive Christmas wreaths are made of prime Douglas
fir, accented with clutches of long needle Ponderosa pine, and berry-laden
sprigs of Juniper . The contrast of color and texture produced in
these wreaths by this combination is highlighted by the addition of
a traditional red bow and cluster of pine cones. 
Highest Quality
and Freshness
These wreaths stand alone in
regard to quality and freshness. Boughs are cut in November, after
series of cold, Colorado mountain nights have induced winter dormancy
in the stands of fir and have set the trees’ soft needles. This
produces a wreath that stays soft, green, and aromatic for the Christmas
season and typically lasts well into spring.
Transported
by Llamas
Prime
fir typically grows on the north slopes of the Rockies at elevations
of 6000-8500 feet. The terrain is always rugged and often laden
with snow, making it inaccessible except on foot. Llamas from
our pack strings are sure-footed enough to negotiate the conditions
and pack the harvest to trucks waiting at access roads. The
fir is trucked from the high country to our ranch where our
guides are transformed from warm season expedition leaders and
wranglers into winter artisans who fashion the fresh boughs
into aromatic Christmas décor.

Heavily
laden llamas quietly and confidently tread the early
winter snow blanketing the cold and dark north slopes.
The same north slopes that throughout the Rockies offer
deadfall, steep faces, and dense stands of douglas fir.
It is here the trusty animals' loads originate from
the shearing of the fir's prime bough tips. The llamas,
on a "busman's holiday" from their normal
warm season packing, use their talents to make these
holiday greens accessible. It is our wish their efforts
will brighten and encourage your celebration of Christmas. |

A
Gift with a Story
Each
wreath is highlighted by a card (see photo) that tells the story of
its origin which sets it apart from factory produced wreaths. In addition,
the card has our Christmas logo and a B&W photo of a llama pack
string hauling boughs. It provides the perfect place to add your Christmas
greeting.
In addition, to our Christmas
wreaths, we produce a Christmas swag from select boughs of our Douglas
fir harvest. Each swag is 36" - 42 inches in length and has
the same red bow, cone cluster, and card as our wreaths. These
swags offer the perfect decorating alternative to wreaths, where space
is restricted.
