Looking For A Christmas Tree In The Lemont Area? Find Local Farms

Lemont, IL — As the coronavirus pandemic threatens some of America's most well-loved holiday traditions in 2020, it might still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the ideal Christmas tree this year — and do it safely.

Did you know that at least 25 million real Christmas trees are purchased each year across America, and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states? And during this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as the coronavirus pandemic worsens to ensure shoppers can select their perfect tree with minimal health and safety risk.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has released a special guide containing recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow. Sellers are advised to frequently sanitize items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas. Maximum head counts and touchless, paperless payment systems are also being encouraged.
