Christmas tree farms

Seasonal conifer growers

Christmas tree farms are agricultural operations that grow evergreen trees—typically firs, spruces, and pines—specifically for harvest and sale as holiday decorations.

Trees are planted in rows, shaped by pruning over several years, then cut and sold directly to consumers or wholesalers each November and December.

We took the kids to a Christmas tree farm to pick one out ourselves.

Many farms offer the experience as seasonal entertainment, with hayrides and hot cocoa alongside the tree selection.
