Christmas Tree Farms Near Gresham: Your 2020 Guide

Gresham, OR — It could still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this year — and most importantly, to do it safely, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to worsen across the region.

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 amid the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure shoppers can select their favorite tree with minimal health and safety risk.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a special guide including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, countertops, door handles and restrooms. Maximum head counts and touchless, paperless payment systems are also being encouraged.
