Want to cut down your own Christmas tree this year? This Montrose ranch doesn't require a permit.
Starting Nov. 25, the ranch celebrates the season with attractions like wreath decorating, hot chocolate and marshmallow roasting. The main draw, however, is finding a holiday centerpiece to take home.
“People like it because it’s super convenient, especially with kids,” said Natalie Riessen, Gary’s daughter and business partner. “There are fires going. We have a wreath barn. We have a gift shop, so there are places people can go inside.” “I always wanted to do it on a one-to-one basis with people coming out and enjoying it and seeing their family enjoy the whole season and the experience of looking for their tree,” Gary said. “It’s a unique way to continue our lifestyle in growing.”
