Organic Christmas trees are a growing niche market as more and more families become aware of the risks of pesticide-treated Christmas trees. They make not only an attractive, but a profitable alternative crop for small acreage owners and farmers.
Organic Christmas trees can be sold wholesale or as U-pick/cut-your-own. They are relatively easy, but somewhat labor intensive, to grow.
Other Income Opportunities
In addition to selling Christmas trees, many Christmas trees farms sell Christmas greenery and other holiday decorations.
Some farms create a Christmas theme park for families to visit while choosing their trees, with features such as reindeer petting zoos, visits from Santa and his elves, and more.
Compatible Projects
Many Christmas tree farms combine Christmas trees with other seasonal products, such as U-pick berries and pumpkins.
Christmas trees can also be combined with cattle or other livestock, who can graze in between the rows, keeping down weeds and fertilizing the trees.
Kid Friendly?
Potentially.
Neighbor-Friendly?
Yes.
