In the words of Clark W. Griswold, “We're kicking off our fun, old-fashioned family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols.”
A timeless tradition for many families each December, picking the perfect Christmas tree often signals the start of the holiday season. And in North Carolina, where roughly 40,000 acres of Christmas trees are grown (we're the second-largest producer in the country), you don't even have to walk out into the woods and cut it down with your bare hands.
At Homegrown, we share everyday solutions for everyday lives, whether that means preparing a nutritious seasonal recipe, learning the best way to start your garden, or discovering where your food comes from.North Carolina Christmas Tree Facts
