Frank Farms Where Christmas Memories Begin

Christmas Trees

Choose and harvest your own Christmas Tree, and you'll know it's FRESH!  Our farm provides a great opportunity to renew the tradition of going out, choosing the perfect tree, and harvesting it for your family Christmas tree.  We have thousands of trees of many varieties and sizes. 

We have free wagon rides to take you out into the fields and to bring you and your tree in after you have chosen the perfect one.  When you get back, we shake your tree to get the loose needles out and bale it in plastic netting to keep it manageable for the ride to your home. 

Your tree is tagged and kept for you while you venture inside our rustic Christmas shop and enjoy free cider and popcorn while you browse our selection of handcrafted wreath, roping, ornaments and other goodies.

Why Buy Fresh?  Using a Real Tree Gives Peace to the Earth

More people than ever are concerned with the environment. Although this concern often gets lost in the hustle and bustle of the holidays, families can easily make one choice that will help them do their part to better the environment. That choice is to use a fresh, natural Real Christmas Tree as the centerpiece of their holiday celebration.

"Unlike artificial trees, Real Christmas Trees are renewable and recyclable, " says Mel Koelling, Forestry Professor Michigan State University,  East Lansing, Michigan. "However, many people still perceive cutting trees down as bad for the environment and that is not the case. Real Christmas Trees no longer come from the forest. They are grown on farms throughout  North America."

Today, nearly all Christmas Trees, 98%, are grown on farms, according to the National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA)".

Once they are discarded after the holidays, there are many uses for recycled Real Christmas Trees.

However, artificial trees-most of which are manufactured overseas from petroleum and plastics - cannot be recycled and provide no benefits to the environment.

So as you celebrate the season of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men; provide some peace TO the Earth and goodwill toward the environment. Make the environmentally-friendly choice in Christmas Trees - a fresh, Illinois grown Christmas Tree.
