Home for the Holidays: Shopping Local for Holiday Decor

icon

When the harvest slows, and Winter begins, supporting local farms in Lancaster evolves from abundant produce to holiday decor! If you like to decorate for the holiday season, this is one great way to support our farmers in the colder months. Many farm stands and markets offer you and your loved ones beautiful hand-made crafts and décor. Still, trying to figure out where to go? We’re here to help!

Preserved Farm Stands & Markets

Elizabeth Farms

If you want to cut your own Christmas tree and would like to support a preserved farm, Elizabeth Farms is a great place to go! Elizabeth Farms offers the whole holiday experience, from cutting your tree to festive wagon rides. They also offer seasonal drinks and food. It’s an excellent experience for the entire family!

Smucker’s Farm Market

Smucker’s Farm Market is another preserved farm that sells holiday wreaths and evergreens that are available for purchase. Decorate your house for the season or give their gorgeous wreaths to your loved ones. The market is typically open until Christmas, so visit before January!

Meck’s Farm Market

Meck’s Farm Market is an excellent preserved shop for all seasonal décor and local goodies, including winter decorations. They currently offer pre-cut Christmas trees, poinsettias, wreaths, and more! Stop by the market to shop for you and your loved ones and support this preserved farm.

Other Staff Recommendations

Unsurprisingly, our staff visits many farms yearly, preserved or not. Here are some other farm markets that offer holiday décor in December.

  • Cherry Hill Orchards: offers pre-cut trees, wreaths, poinsettias, and other holiday décor
  • Lapp’s Farm Market: offers pre-cut trees and other holiday décor
  • Metzler Tree Farm: offers both cut-your-own trees and pre-cut pine trees

Decorating your home is a great way to spruce up your environment in the cold, dark winter months. It’s also a great way to continue your support of Lancaster farms in the slower winter season. When you purchase your décor from local shops and farms, you are helping to support small businesses, farm families, and your community! Consider a local farm market for your seasonal décor and holiday shopping this December!

Long live local!
