Each December I bring back this listener favorite because it captures the magic, the work, and the heart behind one of the season’s most beloved traditions. Today, we visit Ashley at Tuckaway Trees, a family-run Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania that has become an evergreen part of this show.

We talk about how long a Christmas tree takes to grow, what the holiday rush looks like behind the scenes, the varieties customers love most, and how small specialty farms like this anchor local economies in quiet but powerful ways.

We also explore a short history of why we bring trees indoors at all, a tradition that begins long before Christmas and now relies on farmers who spend nearly a decade growing each tree you bring home.

If you love seasonal farming, holiday rituals, or simply want a peek behind the scenes of a Christmas tree farm, this episode will make your season brighter.

Take your own trip to Tuckaway Trees here.
