Family Traditions Start Here At Shenandoah Tree Farm
We supply Real Christmas Trees to individuals, garden centers and other retailers throughout the local area. Our mission is to provide our customers with the most beautiful tree that we and Mother Nature can grow.
We planted our first trees in 1967, and started selling trees and decorations at the farm in 1973 with over 35,000 trees growing! Every year we continue to plant more pine trees in the spring to assure a good selection to our customers each holiday season.
Why choose a Real Tree This Year?
Consider these facts before buying a plastic Christmas Tree
Real Trees:
- One acre of trees produces daily oxygen for 18 people.
- RENEWABLE: For every real Christmas tree harvested, 2 to 3 seedlings are planted in its place.
- CLEAN: There are about 1 million acres in production for growing Christmas trees. Tree farms like ours produce enough oxygen for 18 million people.
- BIODEGRADABLE: Real trees are biodegradable. In some areas, curbside recyclers collect used trees each year and chip them into mulch, make them into compost or use them for biomass fuel to generate electricity.
- Christmas tree farms stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while creating scenic green belts.
- MADE IN THE USA: There are about 15,000 Christmas tree growers in the U.S., and over 100,000 people employed full or part time in the industry.
- Often, Christmas trees are grown on soils that could not support other crops. Real Christmas trees are an all-American, recyclable resource.
Have your tree shaked, wrapped and drilled to make handling, hauling and setup a breeze.
Fake Trees:
- NONRENEWABLE: Fake trees and wreaths are made from nonrenewable petroleum.
- TOXIC: Fake trees are make of PVC vinyl which emits toxic fumes into the atmosphere during the manufacturing process.
- NON-RECYCLABLE: Fake trees cannot be recycled. When they are disposed of in a sanitary landfill, they will not disintegrate, but will remain there forever, taking up increasingly scarce landfill space.
- IMPORTED: Fake trees are manufactured mainly outside of the United States. Most artificial trees are manufactured in Korea, Taiwan, or Hong Kong.
What better way to spend some family time than a relaxing visit to Shenandoah Christmas Tree Farm, just outside the village of Alma in Marion County, where many visitors find themselves returning year after year.
