Clearview Family Christmas Tree Farm shared this unusual tip: When you first bring home the tree, cut about 1/2” off the base then drill holes into the side of the tree below the waterline.  Fill the reservoir with warm water and 4 aspirin.   The aspirin acts like a blood thinner and helps the creosote thin out so water will absorb better and faster.

Sickel Tree Farms also says to use warm tap water the first time to help get the sap flowing again.  Be sure to keep your Christmas Tree watered through the whole season…a tree will drink more than you think it will, a tree 4” in diameter will drink about a gallon of water a day!

Guse Tree Farms say to first use very hot scalding water.  From then on, keep your tree watered and never let it get dry or the sap will cover the bottom of the tree and it won’t take up water.

Evans Whispering Pines recommends: Make sure that it is not in a room where there is a fireplace or wood burning stove and that it is not directly by a register in a ceiling or a floor.  If you close it off, that’s fine, otherwise it will dry out the tree!

Kingma Christmas Trees adds: If you did not cut your tree fresh, saw off 1/2” from the bottom, put it in hot water first, then keep it watered.  Do not let it go dry!  The hot water will open the pores and as long as you keep water in the tree stand, the pores will not close over.

Hensler Nursery had a slightly different take: Fresh water.  We don’t recommend any additives.

Mathews Tree Farm and Pumpkin Patch in Rensselaer, Indiana: Pick a Tree!

Forget the grungy mini lot with a handful of Charlie Brown type trees or the so perfect it’s just wrong artificial trees.

Venture out into little Indiana and find a nice, family-run Christmas Tree Farm — and then some! Many farms offer cute extras like petting zoos, hot drinks, wagon rides out to the field, even Santa himself makes an appearance every now and again!

Indiana Town Christmas Tree Farms

Save yourself a trip. Before rushing out the door, take a second and give the farm a call. Hours can change, farms can switch hands, and, unfortunately, may even close entirely.

This is the most comprehensive list of small town Christmas Tree Farms and maybe even the only one–but even I can make mistakes. If I missed a farm, please let me know, and by the same token, if I have one on here that has recently closed, let me know that too, and I’ll fix that, too.

Right on the main road, there is one entrance directly to the bar and one for family dining so, with the kid in tow, we headed to family dining.

Very, very small…I don’t think there were even 15 tables, maybe not even 12, but business at the Route 10 Bar and Grill was absolutely steady.  Surrounded by mostly Chicago-land sport memorabilia (go Bears!), large, wall-mounted flat screen TV, and a big fish tank in the corner, the kid had plenty to look at, and I could see why a young, high school to college-aged guy would dig the atmosphere. Added bonus: the waitress was really nice and not only talked to the kid, she actually pointed out various fish, etc. in the tank, making a friend out of him for life, I do believe.

Of course, I had to check out the restrooms, and when I turned the corner, there was a very large group of Amish teens!  I walked right past the (very tidy) restroom I was so surprised.  One of the Amish ladies nicely pointed it out to me.  Oops.

Hubby and I both ordered the Philly Steak Sandwich, fries, and potato salad  (I hate when we do that!) and the kid got a hot dog, fries, and a little cup of Jell-o.  Everyone was pleased with their order, and, after peeking at the bikers next to us…Whew! Those mile-high burgers looked fantastic!  Next time – I’m getting a burger!

For dessert: well, I was hoping for some yummy pie, but all they happened to have left was Turtle Cheesecake.  I just wasn’t feeling it, and since I wasn’t exactly hungry anyway, I passed.

Overall: We were satisfied but it might be a good idea to call ahead if there are members under 21 in your group, just to make sure there is enough room for everyone.

For whatever reason, North Judson didn’t seem like it was doing so great.  Hopefully things will pick up for this little place!

You know I love those old downtowns…and North Judson had some great old buildings with really unique features.  Just take a look at that cute red shop on the corner.  I bet that second floor makes a neat apartment!

I would have loved to have stepped inside “The Last Dime Store Alive” but, alas, they were closed.   Just peeking inside through the windows made me interested so I’m sure it would be a worthwhile stop if you are in the area.  Lots of area history, which I find fascinating.

I say it all the time…small towns are known for having strange, strange items and things you just don’t see anywhere else and North Judson is no different.  I think the funky (and kind of scary) lion in the window proves me right yet again.  That thing definitely comes alive at night!

I was really glad that the bakery, at least, was open!  See more North Judson on my Flickr photostream!

Fingerhut Bakery in North Judson, Indiana: Butter Cookies

Fingerhut Bakery in downtown North Judson, Indiana has my most favorite bakery item: Butter Cookies!

That yummy bakery smell just hits you when you open the door.  I do believe it made me slightly giddy.

Fingerhut Bakery in North Judson, Indiana

There was a very steady stream of folks passing in and out of this small Indiana town bakery. They bought an assortment of items which can only mean one thing: It’s all good!

The bakery itself is small, with a really neat old wood display case along the back wall, and cases filled with cookies, cakes, pastries, breads, and bagels.

With over sixty years under their belt, well, I think it’s pretty obvious that they know their stuff–and will be around for many, many more!

Fingerhut Bakery in North Judson, Indiana: Front Window

Apparently Fingerhut Bakery specializes in something called “Chocolate Delight Cake” but I didn’t notice that until after we had left. Don’t worry–we didn’t leave empty-handed!

I bought a ginormous Cream Puff (for me) and a bunny train cookie (for the kid).

With all those Butter Cookies staring me in the face, I had to buy a ½ pound of the Rainbow Sprinkled ones.  I did, however, share with the kid absolutely and completely against my will.

Hubs got a pumpkin roll (for hubby, who doesn‘t want to share with anyone) and even so? Our total at this cute Indiana bakery was $12 and change.  Now that is money I consider well spent!

Go There

If you are in the North Judson area, stop by for something sweet.  Fingerhut Bakery has the largest assortment I have ever seen in a small town…so far.

Fingerhut Bakery is right downtown on the corner.  You can’t miss it (I couldn’t even miss it and I have a knack for getting lost and turned around).

Just don’t forget to tell ‘em that  little Indiana sent you!
