VIDEOS/PHOTOS: A year ago, fire ripped through the workshop at the Oakland Tree Farm, but this year they’ve rebuilt, and the owners say there’s one thing in particular that they’re grateful for. “Friends and community. Friends have stepped up big time. We really appreciate that part of it. Without friends and people that you can rely on to help you in a bad position, it’s tough, but I’ve got a good set of friends that helped out and got us through the process,” co-owner Phil Adams said.
On the morning of Nov. 30, two days into their season, Phil and Kim Adams woke up to flames engulfing their workshop.
It was deemed a total loss. “Just heartbreaking, because you know it could have burned any other time of the year, but to be the second morning of our season, and just thinking, I have a custom wreath business that I’ve just built up a really fun inventory for the last 30 years and just to see everything going up in flames was just heartbreaking. We’ve just put our heart and soul into this business,” Kim Adams said.
