Where To Find A Christmas Tree In 2020 Near Lakeville

Lakeville, MN — As the coronavirus pandemic threatens some of America's most quintessential holiday traditions in 2020, it may still be possible to hunt for the right Christmas tree this year — and 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. During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the worsening coronavirus pandemic to ensure patrons can take home their favorite tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has created a new 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.

An onsite "COVID-19 coordinator" and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged at the farms.
