The Summer 2021 Edition of NJCTGA News is now available!
Could Christmas 2021 be one of the best years ever? Read about how weather conditions and other factors are putting pressure on an already serous Christmas tree shortage, including wholesale prices. Gain insight from the article Four Lessons from Covid-19 and the Future of Christmas Tree Marketing, by the Michigan State Nursery and Christmas Tree Extension News, which analyzes survey results about consumer attitudes of REAL Christmas trees versus artificial trees. We also recap our Twilight meeting at Woodsedge farm, with living proof large acreage is not necessary to run a profitable farm. Be sure to mark your calendars for our Winter Meeting set for January 29th, 2022 at the Rutgers EcoComplex in Bordentown. Don’t forget to check out the report from New Jersey grower Chris Geckeler of Chris’ Trees in Princeton about his stay in “Land Down Under” and his trip to the local Choose and Cut Christmas tree farm in outback Australia.
