Growing Christmas Trees for Winter Income


Growing Christmas trees can be a way to diversify your farm income and keep cash flowing during the off-season.

During this farm tour, Marlo Weidenbaugh from Mar-Jo Farm will describe different tree types, desirable growing conditions, tree diseases and pests, and general tree maintenance. He’ll also review marketing outlets for Christmas trees and managing on-farm sales.
