What agricultural crop is part of a festive tradition?

Christmas Tree Farming: A Growing Tradition

Christmas tree farming is a significant part of American agriculture, with over 2,700 farms dedicated to growing these festive trees. These farms provide millions of families with the centerpiece of their holiday decorations each year while supporting local economies and preserving green spaces.

The cultivation and harvesting of Christmas trees exemplify how agriculture contributes to cherished traditions. These farms provide seasonal joy and play a role in environmental conservation, as Christmas tree farms are often located on land that might otherwise be left unused.
