(Bel Air, MD – November 21, 2008) – – With the holiday season now upon us, County Executive David R. Craig and the Division of Agriculture are reminding Harford’s families that we have many great Christmas tree farms right here in the county.
Harford County tree farms offer many varieties of pine, fir, and spruce. Some of the farms also have other goods and attractions such as wreaths, holiday crafts, baked goods, and even reindeer and train rides.
“Our Christmas tree farms provide not only the highest quality trees, but also fun family activities and an old fashioned holiday atmosphere,” remarked John Sullivan, III, Deputy Chief of Staff for Agriculture.
County Executive Craig added, “Our ‘Buy Local’ effort doesn’t end with the first frost. You can also support our farming community by buying local in the winter as well. I encourage Harford County families to make a trip to one of our Christmas tree farms a part of their holiday plans.”
The county’s Christmas tree farms include: Applewood Farm, 4435 Prospect Road, Whiteford, Deer Creek Valley Farm, 3744 Ady Road, Street, Environmental Evergreens, 3631 Berkley Road, Darlington, Evergreen Farm, 4219 Webster Road, Havre de Grace, Hickory Hill Farm, 3123 Copenhaver Road, Street, Jarrettsville Nurseries, 4302 St. Clair Bridge Road, Jarrettsville, Rock Hollow Farm, 4105 Federal Hill Road, Jarrettsville, and Walnut Grove Farm, 2931 Charles Street, Fallston.
