Looking For A Christmas Tree Near Williamsburg-Greenpoint? Find Local Farms

Williamsburg-Greenpoint, NY — As the coronavirus pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s well-loved holiday traditions, it should still be possible to find the right Christmas tree for your family this year — and more importantly, do it safely.

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 amid the coronavirus pandemic to ensure buyers can select their favorite tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has circulated a 2020 guide full of recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow, including frequently sanitizing 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.
