Be Green

Christmas trees—the ‘green’ choice.

  • Real Christmas trees, from local farms, are a “green” choice for the holidays.
  • A Noble fir from Harrison Road Farm has been cleaning the air for 8 to 10 years. Each tree has absorbed a TON of CO2 (carbon dioxide) during its lifetime, and a new seedling will replace it.
  • With another 8 acres of trees in our woodlot and streambank conservation planting, our trees are absorbing literally tons of CO2.
  • Our trees are not sprayed, unless needed to control insects or disease.
  • Oregon leads the nation in Christmas tree production, so it’s good to know that 1 acre of Christmas trees provides the daily oxygen requirements for 18 people.
  • Buy your tree from the source: make a visit to Harrison Road Farm part of your family’s tradition—and thanks for supporting local farms.
