From unpredictable weather to increased cost in farming, Christmas tree farmers have been working double time to ensure no Canadian is left without a tree this season.
In the aftermath of unpredictable weather, labour issues and increased costs to farming, Canadian Christmas tree farmers are still optimistic about the holiday season despite the challenges.
Christmas tree farms say Canadians can expect an increase in prices this season as farmers have seen their costs go up for fertilizer, insurance and fuel for tractors. While it remains unclear how much prices could rise for consumers, Brennan says that will vary depending on the farm. "It's a cyclical thing, so there's probably going to be lots of trees coming back on the market and in another five or six years, but it's going to take some time for it to kind of come out and rebound again," she told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview on Nov. 7.
"I think everyone is also experiencing an insurance premium increase this year so there will be a small price increase to offset some of those factors."Although the weather challenges and rising costs have been tough on Canadian farmers, Brennan says customers are already adapting their tree shopping habits and looking into all their options to offset any issues with trees in stock.
