Tucked away in the woods, about a mile and a half off of highway 90, just east of Defuniak Springs, is the Strickland-Davis Christmas tree farm...a popular place this time of year.
With cypress, cedars, and pines on the farm, you can literally smell Christmas is in the air.
The 40-acre farm is home to row-after-row of as many as 20-thousand trees.
The largest tree on the farm this year stands more than 20- feet tall.
You can cut down your own tree or farmers will do it for you, even bagging-it-up for the trip home.
The family business has been operating for almost 50-years.
They say buying your Christmas tree from a farm helps local agriculture. Andrew Colin is one of the farmers there and says it adds to the "Christmas experience"
"It makes an event out of it, instead of just going to buy a tree you can actually have something; Take pictures, bring a lunch, have hot chocolate, let the kids and dogs run around, I don't know, that seems nicer than just a trip to the store."
On average, the native trees grow about a foot a year, taking between six and seven years to develop into the "perfect" Christmas tree.
