Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 Near Middletown

Middletown, NJ — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s quintessential holiday traditions, it should still be possible to take your family on a hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this year — and even more importantly, do it safely.

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 despite these unprecedented times, the tradition will continue in 2020. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as coronavirus cases rise to ensure shoppers can select their ideal tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a 2020 guide full of 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.

Special signage and touchless, paperless payment systems are also being encouraged at the farms.
