Usually, we devote this column to foods that we sell in the market.  But since its Christmas tree season, it seemed fitting to focus on the growers behind these beautiful trees.  The Brewer family has lived in the Shelton Valley for four generations. In 1966, they moved to their current ranch, raised four children, and operated a Grade A dairy.  In 1980, the family planted the field of trees on the home farm and the business has grown ever since.   The Brewers have several plantation fields located in Mason and Lewis counties, with Noble Fir being the primary seller.

In addition to trees, the Brewers are proud supporters of the Mason County Rodeo.  Bob and Gail enjoy watching their granddaughters ride in the rodeo. Kailyn has been a rodeo princess for the past three years and her younger sister, Bailey carries a flag in the ceremonies.
