The holidays are here at JP Total's!   

If you want to experience some old-fashioned charm from a time long ago, in a setting that takes you back to a simpler time and people who welcome you in, you can do that right here at JP Total's Farmers' Market roadside in Evergreen. 

For generations, it has been the tradition of many area families to come to JP Totals Christmas Tree Lot to pick out the "just perfect" tree for their holiday celebration! Unlike many, these trees are cut fresh and delivered each week, guaranteeing your tree will stay fresh through the holidays and smell amazing! Their beautiful hand-tied decorated wreaths and fresh Douglas fir garland will make any door look festive and welcoming. 

JP tells the story, "We have families come back year after year. I recently had a woman show me a photo of herself here with her parents only 3 days after she was born and now she is coming back with her own children. We enjoy having grandparents who came here when they were younger come back with their grandchildren. We see it all the time. People feel the nostalgia and it feels like home." 

JP's is absolutely filled right now with a variety of artisan honeys, preserves, ciders, and crafts, not to mention amazing dipping oils and one of JP's favorites from his home state of New Jersey, the jarred tomato sauces! They help make gift-giving and entertaining easier for you. Pick up a delicious Village Pie Maker frozen pie for dessert to take to a gathering or family meal. You can create a unique and thoughtful gift basket here with ease.  

Open since 1992, JP's is celebrating its 32nd Christmas season and has been an Evergreen tradition when it comes to stopping by to buy your produce in the summer and fall, the Pumpkin Patch when the leaves begin to turn, and Christmas trees and wreaths for your door for the holidays.   

People who have come in as children are known to now bring their kids in to experience this wonderful roadside market. You'll find yourself glad that there are still places like this to enjoy and bring back some memories.  

With every full-size tree purchase, they send you home with a free 1/2 gallon of cider to enjoy! 

JP Totals Farmers Market is open daily 11am - 7pm (or often later!), they are located at 4370 Independence Trail on the east side of Evergreen.
