Ontario Christmas tree farmers gather for education day in Listowel
Christmas tree farmers from across Ontario gathered in Listowel, Ont. Saturday for their annual field and education day
The event, hosted by Outback Tree Farm, brought together growers for networking, workshops and hands-on demonstrations.
Organized by the Christmas Tree Farmers of Ontario (CTFO), the day is designed to highlight new technologies, research and best practices in the industry.
The non-profit association, funded by Ontario growers, supports both producers and consumers by promoting locally grown trees and encouraging sustainable practices.
The CTFO says gatherings like this are a chance for farmers to share knowledge while adapting to a changing agricultural landscape.
The organization adds that buying a real Christmas tree also helps preserve local ecosystems and supports family-run farms across the province.
