Retirements among N.S. Christmas tree farmers putting pressure on remaining sellers
Earlier this week, the president of the Lunenburg Christmas Tree Association reported there are many challenges the industry is facing right now.“Our growers, as I say, are getting older, labour is hard to find, there are trucking issues, the industry has not been seeing young people coming into it,” Murray Crouse says. “Our numbers are dropping.”
He adds it’s especially difficult because Nova Scotia is one of the top Christmas tree producers in the country.Amanda Mullenger has been visiting Smith’s trees since childhood. She loves being able to pick out the one with the perfect needles and unique character.She says the nostalgia of shopping at Smith’s connects her with tradition and loved ones.
“One of the days that we went to go get the Christmas tree, that morning I found out that my grandfather had passed away,” she says. “Although it seems silly to say that, it’s why I keep coming back here because there are the memories, the tradition is here, really I feel him here in each Christmas tree I pick.”
