Founded
in 1953, as the New York Christmas Tree
Growers' Association we
changed our name to Christmas Tree Farmers
Association of New York in January, 1999.
Christmas
tree farming in New York State can be a rewarding
full or part-time occupation. Unfortunately, that
is not the way it works out for many people who
enter the business. To bring your risk down to an
acceptable level, it is crucial to be informed about
the basics of the industry before you make large
commitments.
