Description

Back in 1977 The Clouses started a Christmas Tree Farm all because an FFA chapter planted their "seedling program" trees on their land. Leaving livestock behind, they now run a farm with 20,000+ trees welcoming thousands of customers from communities and cities from all over. Hear from Ryan, 2nd generation farmer, on how he works with his 78-year-old father, is a leader in the Christmas Tree Association, and shares the joys and challenges of operating a Christmas Tree farm.
