I haven't purchased a *real* Christmas tree in decades. Well, I don't think I (personally) have ever purchased one until this past weekend...mostly because most 7 year olds don't literally buy Christmas trees.
All that being said, we were on the hunt for a locally-ish sourced Christmas tree and lo and behold a small tree lot could be found just a few miles from our house. L & M tree farm had a small but solid selection of trees (from 5'-10' my best guess) - balsam, fraser fir, white pine, natural balsam, and a small selection of fresh wreaths. Pricing range from $40-$100 for most trees.
The free smells were nice, but the service was on point too. Linda had plenty of tree knowledge to bestow on us and she was very patient with our two little girls who were constantly shuffling along in the fallen tree needles.
After we selected our freshly cut and bagged tree, the gentleman (Dennis?) secured our new purchase to our roof and we were on our merry way.
*Pro tip: They only take cash or checks. read more
