Does your family enjoy selecting and cutting down a Christmas tree together? See our list of local Christmas tree farms below!
Tips if you're planning to cut down the perfect tree this year:
- Tree-cutting usually starts the day after Thanksgiving and lasts until the available trees are gone.
- Dress warmly! Gloves especially, and good boots -- the fields can be wet and boggy in places.
- Measure the space where your tree will go and bring a measuring tape with you. Trust the measurements though, and stick with them, so you don't end up having to cram an enormous tree into your house.
- Make a plan for getting it home. Bring a sheet to line the inside of your van or SUV, to collect dropped needles, or to put on the roof, to prevent scratches.
