Christmas Tree Farms In The Menomonee Falls Area: Your 2020 Guide

Menomonee Falls, WI — As the ongoing coronavirus pandemic threatens some of America's most well-loved holiday traditions in 2020, it could still be possible to take your family on a hunt for the ideal Christmas tree this year — and 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. 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 select their ideal tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has released a 2020 guide full of 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. Maximum head counts and touchless, paperless payment systems are also being encouraged.
