Christmas Tree Shed

Boxford, MA choose-and-cut tree farm established 1965 on land with seven generations of Herrick family history. The 100-acre property was donated to the New England Forestry Foundation in 1990 to be held as a community forest; tree operation continues alongside maintained public trails.

What they do

The Christmas Tree Shed (Herrick Tree Farm) opened in 1965 on land carrying [[seven-generation-principle|seven generations]] of Herrick family history. “The [[christmas-tree-farm|Christmas Tree Farm]] was started in 1965 by Bill and his Family.” In 1990 the 100-acre property was donated to the New England Forestry Foundation so it would be held as a community forest in perpetuity. Two families now manage the choose-and-cut and pre-cut tree operation, alongside maintained trail systems open year-round for passive recreation.

Why it’s listed

A working tree farm permanently conserved as a community forest — the donation to New England Forestry Foundation is the specific filter. Sixty years of continuous operation plus public trail access makes this a substrate-builder for both the seasonal Christmas tree market and the broader [[greater-boston|greater Boston]] woodland commons.
