Local Maine Christmas Tree Farms
Hi friends! With the holiday season in full swing, it’s important to support local Maine businesses as much as possible. One of the easiest ways you can support a local business this holiday season is by purchasing your Christmas tree from a local Maine Christmas tree farm!
Cutting down a tree locally has so many positive benefits:
It helps support a local business.
Visiting a Christmas tree farm and cutting down your tree helps keep your money in the local economy and supports local businesses and families that are more likely to invest their money in your local community.
Cuts down on carbon emissions.
Cutting down your tree at a local farm has very little environmental impact, because you are cutting it down on site, strapping it to your car, and then taking it home. Some box stores have trees imported from out of state or even another county, which means they have traveled a larger distance and therefore required more fossil fuels. Plus, Christmas trees help clean the air by removing carbon dioxide and replacing it with oxygen!
Real trees can be reused
After the holiday season comes to an end, your tree can either be chipped or mulched, burned for fuel, or left to biodegrade in your yard or woods.
Your tree will be fresher
Have you ever spent a bunch of money on a Christmas tree just to have it die weeks or days before Christmas? That tree you overpaid for was most likely cut weeks or months before you purchased it and had to travel hundreds of miles. Cutting a tree locally means your tree will have traveled a whole lot less and it will be fresher, which means it will last a lot longer.
