May all your Christmases be white – and GREEN!

We know it’s common to dream of a white Christmas, but our New Hampshire-Vermont Christmas tree growers offer the following eco tips to help you also make your holidays GREEN:

   * If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already taken the first step toward an environmentally friendly holiday by selecting a real, farm fresh Christmas tree. If you’d like to read about the benefits of a real tree (and the dangerous pitfalls of artificial trees), we encourage you to check out this link from the National Christmas Tree Association. 

   * Using homemade ornaments is another fun and festive green holiday tradition. Cut paper snowflakes from colorful recycled paper, use craft paint and festive ribbon to decorate pinecones, string popcorn and cranberries and dried apples into garlands, tie sweet-smelling sticks of cinnamon with holiday ribbon to make pretty ornaments, save old Christmas cards to cut into shapes for tree ornaments or gift tags…. The possibilities are endless!

   * If it’s time to replace your Christmas tree lights, look for LED strands. They use up to 90 percent less energy and last up to a decade!

   * After the holidays, check with your local transfer station or a New Hampshire or Vermont Christmas tree farm to find out if there are Christmas tree recycling programs in your area. Recycled Christmas trees are put to use in a variety of ways, from helping to rebuild coastline and restoring sand dunes to improving fishing areas in New England and providing wildlife habitat. Visit the National Christmas Tree Association website to learn more about how recycled Christmas trees help the environment.

   * Trees may also be composted or chipped for mulch. Evergreen trees should NOT be burned in the woodstove or fireplace, as they may contribute to creosote buildup and increase the risk of a chimney fire.

May your days be merry and bright, and may all your Christmases be white… and green!

Decking the Halls in Style!

It’s not ALL about Christmas trees for New Hampshire-Vermont Christmas tree growers. Beyond the farm fresh trees they tend to beautiful perfection, our tree farms also offer fresh, fragrant, handmade wreaths, along with kissing balls, garland, one-of-a-kind gifts from local artisans, and whimsical holiday ornaments.

That’s right… you can find everything you need to make the holidays merry and bright at a New Hampshire or Vermont Christmas tree farm!

Wreaths are typically made on site, using greens leftover from the process of growing and harvesting Christmas trees. Our tree farms sell wreaths ranging in decoration from a simple bow to adornments of pine cones, berries, and other natural and festive frills.

So, whether you’re shopping for your tree at a farm in New Hampshire or Vermont this season, or on one of our farms’ online shops, we invite you to think beyond the tree – and discover what else your favorite tree farm has to offer.

Happy Decorating!
