Looking For A Christmas Tree In The Homewood-Flossmoor Area? Find Local Farms

Homewood-Flossmoor, IL — As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s quintessential holiday traditions, it could still be possible to find the right Christmas tree for your family — and most importantly, do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are sold each year across America, and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states. And despite these unprecedented times, the tree market is still up and running this year. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as coronavirus cases rise to ensure buyers can take home a tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has created a 2020 guide containing recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow. The guide advises sellers to frequently sanitize items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.
