They are a full-service Christmas tree farm with real elves on hand to help with the heavy lifting. Stop by for a fresh-from-the-farm tree, some hot apple cider and some conversation with the Love Lake elves beginning the Friday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 24) and every Saturday and Sunday until Christmas. “Let our family help your family make your Christmas special!
