Where to Buy a Christmas Tree in the Lehigh Valley

Great Tree Farms for Fresh Cut Trees

Christmas Trees in the Lehigh Valley - Buying a Fresh Cut Christmas Tree

If you're thinking about buying a fresh cut Christmas tree this year, great!

Did you know that according to the 2002 USDA Agricultural Census, Pennsylvania has more Christmas tree farms than any other state in the US? Nearly 2000 PA farms produce about 1.7 million cut Christmas trees every year.

Buying fresh trees helps support local farmers and is better for the environment than purchasing artificial Christmas trees. Although artificial Christmas trees are reusable from year to year, eventually, they are likely to end up in a landfill. Trees that come from Christmas tree farms are replaced every year. Real trees, once used, can be recycled into bird feeding stations or mulch, which is widely used in gardening and landscaping.

Evergreen trees should never be burned in fireplaces or woodstoves. These trees give off creosote, which can build up in a chimney and cause a fire.

If you live in the Lehigh Valley area and are considering a fresh cut Christmas tree, here are some suggestions.

That journey need not be far, because every tree seems to be perfect. Your biggest decision will be selecting the type (either Concolor or Douglas Fir) and size of tree. Upon arrival back at the barn, the friendly folks at Valley View farm will drill, shake, and bail your tree. If you'd just like to buy a fresh cut tree, you can do that as well.
