Why Christmas trees? Clagett Farm is a hilly place--not the right spot for a lot of plowing. The hills have been heavily eroded from the years of tobacco farming before our time, which makes them a poor spot for most crops. Christmas trees are a way of keeping the hills covered in vegetation, providing insect and animal habitat, and still making some money.
As it happens, they also make a great spot for wandering around outside in the sunshine on a wintery day with your family and friends. Bring a picnic, your dog, and enjoy the fresh air.
Consider measuring your ceiling height before you come. A tree that looks small under the big, open sky suddenly looks larger inside your house!
