Cranston's Christmas Tree Farm

About Us

The portrait could be of any barn in the winter, the faded red walls made bright by the clumps of snow that surround it. A pile of manure lightly dusted with snow towering beside the silo and barn. The barn and manure are seen from the snow packed dirt road through a line of young trees and barbed wire fence with wooden posts. But it isn't just any barn; it is a portrait of Cynthia and Tom Cranston's farm in Ashfield just after they purchased the 160 acres from Tom's father to allow him to retire in the late 1970s. The portrait is a symbol of how the landscape has been changed by the Cranstons.
