Once the trees have been sheared, the ones which are ready are individually graded, sized and tagged for the wholesale harvest. The harvest begins in November after we have had several hard frosts which set the needles tightly on the branches. The trees are cut and then immediately twine-baled to preserve their freshness and to protect the tree branches during handling and shipping to market. The wholesale trees are loaded onto trucks of various sizes and shipped all over the Northeast. Baling harvested trees keeps us warm and the trees fresh.
Customers can come visit the farm anytime to tag the tree they want to harvest.
We enjoy having visitors at the farm and the area has a lot of sights and activities to offer our guests. Mike or Ben will get right back to you.
