Heading to a Christmas tree farm on a crisp weekend morning is a family tradition for so many, and if you live in the Lehigh Valley, there are a number of places where you can go to pick the perfect one!

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

Buying fresh trees to turn into a holiday display helps support local farmers and is actually 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, and once used, can be recycled into bird feeding stations or mulch, which is widely used in gardening and landscaping.

Becks Christmas Tree Farm – Slatington
There are 1000’s of trees to choose from on the rolling hillsides of Becks Christmas Tree Farm, so finding your perfect tree is easy!  They have many varieties of trees that range in all sizes up to 9 feet.  They equip you with a saw to cut your own tree and also provide you with a wheeled tree cart so you can easily carry your tree from the field back to the baling area where they will shake, drill the stump (if needed) and wrap your tree for you free of charge.
