Purchase your Christmas tree this holiday season from a farmer participating in the Puget Sound Fresh program, and you’re not only supporting agriculture here in King County, but you’re assured of the best selection of the freshest trees available.
Nine King County farmers are offering fresh Christmas trees this year through the Puget Sound Fresh program. Many farms also sell fresh wreaths, garlands and greenery to make your home more festive this holiday season.
Supporting local farmers this holiday season helps ensure agriculture remains a part of King County’s economy and its landscape. And because they’re from right here in King County, locally grown Christmas trees require less fuel to transport from farm to market, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
The complete list of participating farmers is available at www.pugetsoundfresh.org and click on the Christmas tree icon.
King County began Puget Sound Fresh in 1998 to help consumers identify products that are grown, raised or harvested in one of the 12 counties that touch Puget Sound. The program is part of the non-profit Cascade Harvest Coalition, supported by King, Snohomish and Pierce counties.
In addition to the Puget Sound Fresh partners program, Puget Sound Fresh publishes the annual Farm Guide to help consumers find local farms, including U-pick farms, organic products, recipes, agricultural activities and more.
