SUMMARY: The transcript highlights a visit to Worthy Tree Farm in Monroe County, known for its Christmas trees. The family-run business faces challenges like drought and tornadoes but has 1,000 trees available for the season. During the opening day, the joy of seeing children experience the magic of selecting a tree is emphasized. Tips for caring for a real tree, such as trimming the bottom, daily watering, and keeping it away from heaters, are shared. The trees are cultivated for five years, starting in a greenhouse before being sold. There’s a plan to reconnect with the farm during the planting season.
