Fox News
Christmas tree season is here, which means many families have been selecting the perfect pine or spruce for their home this holiday season. Several tree farm owners shared their stories.
The first Christmas tree farm was planted by farmer and entrepreneur W. V. McGalliard in White Horse, New Jersey, in 1901. "We are totally exhausted during this time of year, but we love it so much." "The trees are planted in straight lines, and all the kids run up and down." "They send Christmas trees to active service members home and abroad." Eve Glover is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
Many Christmas tree farms are family owned, and generations of guests come back to revisit childhood memories with their own families, in addition to attracting first-time visitors.
