‘It is quite difficult to maintain a Colorado Christmas tree farm’ - High Country News #iamthewest: Giving voice to the people that make up communities in the region.

Our farm is sustainable because the trees are grown locally in the community that enjoys them, and we only cut down 100 each season. The highlight of our year is seeing all the families with their little kids coming to find the perfect tree.
