Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 In The Lynnfield Area

Many local Christmas tree farms are taking COVID-19 precautions to make sure you and your family have a jolly holiday.

Lynnfield, MA — As the ongoing coronavirus pandemic threatens some of America's most iconic holiday traditions in 2020, it might still be possible to find the ideal Christmas tree for your family this year — and more importantly, do it safely.

Did you know that at least 25 million real Christmas trees are sold each year across the U.S., and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 states.? During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as coronavirus cases rise to ensure shoppers can select their ideal tree with minimal health and safety risk.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has released a new guide with recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, countertops, door handles and restrooms.
