tree farm

I grew up working on a tree farm, and there’s something about the uniformity of a tree farm that I find terrifying.

So why is it run like a Christmas tree farm?

In Manhattan, you won’t find a tree farm or Home Depot parking lot pop-up; many New Yorkers sidewalk-shop for their Christmas trees, buying from vendors who fill the streets each December.

Competitors are required to throw a six-foot fir tree across a Christmas tree farm.

This is Christmastime in Manhattan, where you won’t find noble firs at a tree farm or Home Depot parking lot pop-up.
