Christmas treesdonated forstate festivities

Christmas tree growers across New Hampshire are in the middle of the busy annual selling period which will continue full tilt until Christmas Eve.

And during this busy season, it has  become a tradition for New Hampshire growers, through the NH Christmas Tree Promotion Board, to provide trees for “official” holiday decorating for the New Hampshire State House and for the Bridges House (site for numerous official functions) in Concord.

This year, the official state holiday trees come from Beloin Tree Farm, a family owned and operated farm in Colebrook. The farm was established in 1948. The Beloins started a dairy farm on 520 acres with logging and Christmas trees as part of the farm. Today the cows are gone and the operation is focused strictly on trees.
