BUSINESS OPERATION: As mentioned in the introduction, the nursery business has grown and flourished tremendously since it was started and while sales have increased, the percentage of expenses to sales has decreased due to improved efficiency. Owners have contracts to supply trees to several entities annually. All the larger trees at the new sports complex in Klamath Falls Oregon were supplied by this nursery, some of which had to be trucked in via lowboy. Since they have the only large tree digger in the area, they have the capability to handle larger trees.

Outdoor weddings are becoming more and more popular, and several have been held in this beautiful setting. More weddings are already booked for the coming year. Other special events such as birthday parties, club meetings, company picnics, reunions, etc. are also featured. These events can be quite profitable.

This property also lends itself well for trail riding, wagon and sleigh rides, hiking, bike riding, quad riding or just a chance to get away. And, just across the road lies thousands of acres of BLM land on which to enjoy these and other activities. There is a definite demand for these activities among city dwellers who are willing to pay for the opportunity.
