Wisconsin website helps track down Christmas trees, more

By WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, TRADE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012

For consumers wanting a real Christmas tree that’s locally grown, The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) encourages using a site like SavorWisconsin.com to locate a farm nearby.

The website offers an easy-to-use online directory searchable by business, product name, city or zip code. A search for “Christmas tree” brings up over 100 listings across the state from Delavan to Turtle Lake and Sparta to Oconto.

Business listings include location, hours of operation, driving directions and types of products offered.

Some Christmas tree businesses sell right on the farm or allow you to cut-your-own. Several operations offer other amenities, such as a wagon ride, hot chocolate and more.

Buying Wisconsin-grown greens supports local businesses, communities and the economy. The state is home to over 400 licensed Christmas tree growers.
