Our Story
The land that makes up Workin' Progress Farm has been in our family for 75 years. For generations it was simply home — a piece of Connecticut countryside held close through hard work, care, and love.
When the time came to breathe new life into the property, we planted our first seedlings and began the patient, years-long process of growing a Christmas tree farm worthy of the land's history. Every tree here has been planted by our hands, trimmed by our hands, and nurtured through every New England season.
"We're not just selling trees — we're inviting you into something we've spent years building, on land we've spent a lifetime loving."
We grow three premium varieties — Douglas Fir, Fraser Fir, and Spruce — chosen for their beauty, fragrance, and needle retention so your tree stays stunning through the whole season.
The Farm
Why Fresh
Real Christmas trees are a renewable crop. For every tree harvested, farms like ours plant one to three seedlings. Trees spend years absorbing CO₂ and producing oxygen before they ever reach your home.
The unmistakable fragrance of a freshly cut fir or spruce is part of what makes Christmas feel like Christmas. No artificial tree can replicate it.
A properly watered fresh-cut tree will last four to six weeks with ease, staying green and fragrant well past New Year's. Our trees are cut the same day you visit.
When the season is over, real trees can be chipped into mulch, used as habitat in ponds, or composted — a far better end than an artificial tree destined for a landfill.
Choosing a tree from a local family farm keeps money in your community and helps preserve open agricultural land from development.
