ABOUT
Coleman’s Christmas Tree Farm
Learn about what goes into farming Christmas trees, their history, and even the environmental benefits of tree farming. Over 95 acres of Christmas trees are grown here every year. Groups go for a hayride through the fields of trees and learn how tree farms grow and how to care for plantation Christmas trees. The tour also stops at a pond so that groups can feed ducks and geese. On the farm, groups can see wild and domestic birds, including turkeys, pheasants, and peacocks. An Indian tipi and picnic area are nearby as well. Call as early as possible for a reservation; tours begin Mid-September and continue through December.

FUN FACTS
The average American may eat 125 pounds of potatoes each year, but corn is actually America’s number one field crop, providing ingredients for cereals, peanut butter, snack foods and soft drinks. The average person eats 68 quarts of popcorn a year alone! Use a trip to an agricultural farm to find out where our fruits and vegetables come from. Compare organic, pesticide-free, and genetically engineered crops. Research the products made possible by crops grown in the U.S. (shampoos, crayons, and baseball bats all come from agricultural products, for example). Ask your local farm about the benefits of eating local or growing your own garden.
