Christmas Tree Farms: Not Just For Trees Anymore
November 18, 2016
Nashville, TN – Christmas trees are not the only draw to Tennessee’s Christmas tree farms.
“The best reason to visit a local Christmas tree farm is to make great memories,” Tennessee Department of Agriculture Marketing Specialist Clay Dunivan said. “People have so much fun being outdoors at a farm during the holiday season.”
“Friends and families can enjoy a wagon ride through the trees, drink hot chocolate or cider, see Santa Claus, take a holiday crafts class, and even make their own wreaths and garland—with the help of the farmer, of course,” stated Dunivan.
