One of our favorite holiday traditions is going to cut down our own Christmas tree. It’s a tradition that dates back centuries and we always have a good time searching for that perfect tree. There’s just something cathartic about cutting down your own Christmas tree, hauling it hope and setting it up in the living room.
If you’re curious as to where you can find Christmas tree farms in Northwest Indiana to cut your own – I’ve put together a quick list for you.
