It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas at the Apple Hill Ranches as the Christmas Tree Growers are sharpening their saws for the annual holiday tradition of cut-your-own Christmas trees. Apple Hill Christmas Tree Farms are beginning to open, while most open officially on the day after Thanksgiving, November 28. Hours and dates of the individual farms, varieties of trees and other Christmas foliage available, and special treats such as appearances of Santa are listed at www.applehill.com  and on the individual ranch websites.
