While the supply for real Christmas trees remains tight in 2023, Christmas on Indian Lore staff is making sure anyone who wants to take home a real Christmas tree can do so.
"It’s definitely just the Christmas spirit that there is when you come out in here and all the snow is falling," customer Andy Brace said.
Christmas on Indian Lore owner Dean Fechter said this year is more challenging due to the demand.
"Tree farmers are getting older so they’re slowly not doing it so much," Fechter said. "Fortunately we planted, on this property, this year, 7,000 trees. It takes about seven to 10 years to grow a Christmas tree, but we’re pretty well set for the future.
