While Christmas trees cannot transmit any virus, we have developed the following policies to minimize the risk to customers and employees from exposure to the COVID-19 virus. These practices are based on recommendations of the National Christmas Tree Association.

Staff Practices

Staff temperatures will be taken daily, prior to opening for business.
Staff that cannot maintain social distancing will wear appropriate PPE
Staff exhibiting any symptoms of illness will not be permitted to work

Customer Practices

You are free to roam the fields and trails of our farm -- just be respectful of others not in your party and maintain appropriate social distancing
We reserve the right to deny service to anyone displaying signs of illness

Tree cutting and transportation

Hand saws will be available for customers to cut their own tree
Twine will be made available for customers to secure a tree to their vehicle
Staff will not be permitted to load trees into or secure trees on customer vehicles (YouTube has some good videos ... and we'll post one here soon)
Sanitizing wipes will be available to clean saws and scissors between uses
