Central Kentucky farmer calls Christmas tree operation a ‘seven-year adventure’

A central Kentucky family’s venture into growing Christmas trees is now in its seventh year. Duckworth Farm is in Woodford County, a mile away from The Kentucky Castle. Michael Duckworth said they planted their first Canaan Fir seedlings in 2016 and sold them for the first time this year. He said they have nearly 2-thousand now, but only sold about 50 this year.

“We did pre-sales in October. So what most of the farms are doing is you come, you select, you basically tell us when you want to come pick it up. And so that those processes are all finished up for us for this year.”
