A Guide to Christmas Tree Farms in the 715

Some of us have fond memories of piling in the family truck and bringing it to a local tree farm. We remember the hunt for the perfect tree, the excitement of cutting it down, and the anticipation of sitting in the back of the truck, ready for it to be sitting in the middle of the living room, lit and decorated. Some of us remember sipping warm hot cocoa from the shared thermos in the cupholder. Whether or not you had a good time getting a Christmas tree in the past, don’t miss out this year to make a great memory and embrace the holiday spirit in the most festive way possible: getting the perfect Christmas tree. We’ve rounded up a few of the local tree farms you can visit to complete this great holiday experience.
