CHRISTMAS TREE FARM REVIEW
After visiting the tree farm website, we were really looking forward to making the drive north to Dade City to choose and cut our family Christmas tree.  We drove past rolling hills (in most parts of Florida, hills are a rare find) and pastures and arrived at the bustling tree farm.  There is a small field of Florida friendly trees ready for choosing and cutting.  After exploring the fields, we noticed that the trees would not hold ornaments due to the dense foliage and also the light branches.  So, we walked over to their covered tree lot which was full of beautiful trees fresh from North Carolina and Michigan tree farms.   There are plenty of helpful staffers ready to assist families with their dream tree search.  They all gently discouraged cutting our own tree since those trees do not hold ornaments well.  We chose a lovely Frasier Fir tree and the very helpful farm hands quickly prepared our tree for the journey back home.  They shook off the loose needles, bagged the tree and even wrapped the stump in plastic so the sap would not get on our car.  Overall, the experience was interesting but I doubt that we would make the 50 mile drive for a tree that we could have easily bought at a tree lot here in town.  Happy Holidays!
