Christmas Tree Farms

Many people who buy artificial trees purchase them at large retail stores like Target or Walmart and they typically buy these in person although they can also be purchased online. For the people who want real trees they are typically bought in person in tree lots or on tree farms. However, surprisingly enough, more than 330,000 real Christmas trees are sold via e-commerce or catalogs. Since the number of people who get christmas trees each year is sky-high it has turned into quite a marketing and economic thing as well. In 2002, 21% of Christmas trees sold were from chain stores; 16% by non-profit groups; 22% from retail lots and 35% from choose and cut farms. This year, because of the covid-19 pandemic, the last percentage of people who go to choose and cut farms has and will continue to go way up. Many families are deciding to cut their own trees because it’s an activity that’s fun and can safely be done outside following all the coronavirus pandemic guidelines. So many families are going to be making getting their christmas tree an activity. Buying at a local choose and cut farm or tree lot is a great way to have some fun and support a small business!
