Pretty soon, you’ll be hearing Christmas music on the radio. That’s when you know the holiday season has officially begun! Instead of purchasing a fake tree, consider getting a real one from one of Vermont’s local farmers. There are quite a few farms that have “Choose and Cut” tree lots, but this farm is particularly unique for the method of transportation it offers to visitors.
Dave Russell’s Christmas Tree is located in Starksboro, Vermont.
The Russell Farm/website The farm is owned by Dave and Janet Russell and is well-known for its vast amount of Christmas trees, but also for its famous sleigh ride.
