PESTed is here to help you get ready for the holidays with our annual guide
to buying Christmas trees and wreaths sustainably grown in North Carolina.
PESTed compiled a list of sources, as well as some links for more
information on Christmas trees, pesticides and farmworkers in NC.
Your purchase of a tree or wreath grown locally without pesticides makes a
difference in more ways than one - you'll be protecting your family from
pesticide residues, protecting Christmas tree workers and their families,
and supporting local growers who respect their workers and our environment.
To learn where to get organic and sustainably-grown Christmas Trees and
wreaths in North Carolina, including organic, visit
