Just breath. That is all.

Step by step, order by order.

Cool air, calm light, and the steady pace of fall work. Autumn mornings hit different.

No place we'd rather be.

You've seen them before but it's time for a formal introduction—meet our guest workers!

Our guest workers are a group of workers that come every year from Mexico through Canada's Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP). Some of these men have worked with us for nearly 20 years.

Here's Josh, breaking down the program, how it works, and the importance of their contribution to our team.

This is the eighth segment in our 2025 Reality Show, a recurring series where we break down the realities of operating a tree farm in Alberta. Stay tuned for more episodes!

Out with the old.

Three massive stumps removed, and beautiful new trees now stand in their place.

Heavy lifting by the crane; precision by the crew.

The finish was not even close!

We're having a race with these Milwaukee Tool switch tank backpack sprayers. Who do you think takes the win, Brandie or Josh?

Foligard, our preferred anti-desiccant spray is just like lip balm for plants. We spray it on all of our conifers to lock in moisture and keep them from drying out over the harsh Albertan winter.

Since we're spraying these shrubs either way, we decided—why not have some fun with it?

Who have you got—Josh or Brandie?

Let us know in the comments (and if you have a chance, tag Milwaukee too 😉).

Tree in. Dirt out. Light work. 😤

This is a 10,000 pound root ball.

Yup, you read it right. That there is a 10,000 pound root ball on a beautiful Prairie Spire Green Ash.

Here's Josh with the full description of this job that so many of you loved and engaged with in our last video!

Let's spread this one even further 😉

(P.S. Serhii doing his best to hold in a yawn at the end... we'll give him a pass—it was early!).

10,000 pound root ball. 90 ton crane. Beautiful, crisp Alberta morning.

No words.

Is this video optimized for social media?

Maybe not.

Too long for short attention spans?

Maybe.

But you know what? We don't really care.

We could watch this all day long.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing you a weekend filled with warmth, gratitude, and good company.

We are so thankful for the simple blessings that make life rich. 🧡🍂

Watch to the end to see if Isaac makes it through.

With all the rain in July, water accumulated in several low spots on our farm. While our team worked hard to drain excess water, we still had to ship hundreds of trees each day. We did our best to avoid the worst of the puddles, but sometimes there wasn't much of a choice.

Something tells us Isaac didn't mind...
