West's Tree Farm started in 1978. Since their start they have moved locations to their current address at 29545 Berlin Rd. in Lebanon, OR, which is an 80 acre tree farm. Every year they have a sales lot where they sell pre-cut Christmas trees. The pre-cut lot opens a couple of weeks before they open the tree farm to the public for the "U-Cut" program. Jon West, owner of the farm works with the community to help out organizations and churches with acquiring trees for Christmas. He believes Christmas is about family, charity, and gathering loved ones around the Christmas tree.

Married couple Brian Keeney and Rebecca Keeney search the farm for a perfect tree for their church.
After the perfect tree is found, employees, Michael VanGelder and Demetrius "Bear" Scott retrieve the chosen tree and haul it back to the front of the farm for the transaction.
