Christmas Tree Farms Near Larkspur-Corte Madera: Your 2020 Guide

Larkspur-Corte Madera, CA — It might still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree in 2020 — and to do it safely, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to worsen across the region.

Did you know that at least 25 million real Christmas trees are sold each year across the U.S., and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 states.? During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as COVID-19 cases rise to ensure buyers can select their perfect tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a new guide with recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.

Tree lot operators and choose-and-cut farms "must protect the health and safety of their employees, provide customers with the confidence they need so they can enjoy selecting a tree without risk and demonstrate to state and local officials they are conducting business responsibly," the association said in its guide.
