In addition to the beautiful trees we have growing here at the farm, we have fresh cut Douglas fir trees. For 2022 season we will have Douglas firs instead of the fraser fir. Due to the limited supply and increasing cost of the fraser firs we feel this option will be much better for our customer. We have fresh hand made wreaths. We also offer SNOW FLOCKING for trees and wreaths. We accept cash, and all Major credit cards.

I lived north of Valley Blvd. on Exline St. before the homes on our street sold out for the building of a shopping center. When I was little, I could sometimes hear the lions roaring at night. It seemed ordinary to me (a little child) that community could have a lion farm.
The community has grown so much that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), in collaboration with the National Center for Lesbian Rights, hosts the Rural Pride Campaign, day-long summits to discuss the LGBT experience in rural areas.

It was 1969 when Carmen Goodyear dropped out of Vassar to live on the fringes of Mendocino, California. She began farming, and with fellow lesbians from across the country, began writing and publishing the consciousness-raising, feminist Country Women magazine from their cabins.

Later that month, the Pomona Progress noted that Gay would have an exhibit at the Los Angeles County Fair, which was begun that year, and that the farm, located in the City of Los Angeles, furnished practically all of the lions used in the various moving picture productions, also also is a source of supply for the many circuses and museums which travel in all parts of the United States.
Over a couple of years, the farm was featured in news articles concerning exhibitions at expositions, commercial advertisements (including Numa, who became the most famous of the lions, in a prune ad), and a full-page feature in the Los Angeles Times in May 1923. In early August, as Los Angeles readied for a Motion Picture Exposition, the Gays were prepared to give President Warren G. Harding a cub for his visit. The president, however, took ill in San Francisco and died there on the 3rd, though the baby lion was shipped to Washington as it was assumed Harding would recover.
The story of Charles and Muriel Gay and their unique and popular lion farm are not just notable parts of El Monte history, but have regional signficance, including for the prevalence of their lions in motion pictures for some two decades. Their operation would not be conceivable today, however, so that history stands out even more for how alien it was to our thinking about animal treatment.
The farm first met their cow Norris when he was 2 days old and fighting for his life. Over the course of weeks, being bottle-fed and treated with medicine and transfusions, Norris made a full recovery and is now a happy 500-pound 1-year-old redpoll cow. 041b061a72
