How to Start Your Own Christmas Tree Farm
Christmas tree farming is a seasonal, farming, forestry, and horticulture job that involve growing fir, pine, and spruce trees specifically for use in Christmas trees. If you’re a lover of the Christmas season, or are looking to start a new tradition with your family this holiday season, this may be a great opportunity for you. You can harvest your trees in late fall, before the long cold winter months begin, allowing you to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the holidays without worrying about having to wait on a tree to grow. In addition to the obvious benefits of harvesting your own Christmas trees this way, you will also find the season more relaxing when you do not have to worry about the weather.
For those who are interested in becoming involved in this business but are not sure how they can get started, there are some things that will make your experience more enjoyable. First of all, there are many different types of equipment that you need to complete your job safely and efficiently, so you will want to familiarize yourself with the various pieces of equipment that are used on a typical Christmas tree farm. If you are just starting out and have little experience with any kind of equipment, however, you may want to consider taking a few training courses to help you get used to using the machinery that you will be using on these farms.
As you are starting out on your first Christmas tree farm, it will be important to keep in mind that you will be responsible for taking care of all of the trees that are planted on your property. Because you will probably be responsible for taking care of a lot of different trees, you should also have some basic tools on hand. It is a good idea to have a bucket, rake, shovel, hoe, and pry bar on hand, as well as basic rope, cable ties, cording tape, and safety glasses. In addition, you will probably need some basic equipment that will allow you to quickly move your equipment from one tree to another, such as extension cords, tree straps, tree bags, and tree hooks. Once you are familiar with using your equipment, you can begin to specialize in a particular type of tree, which can make your Christmas tree farm very lucrative!
