A Country Roads Christmas tour in New England wouldn't be complete without a place to purchase a live Christmas tree. Whiting Farm is that place, and in addition to finding the perfect pine to grace your home, you'll be able to purchase fresh green wreaths and kissing balls. Nancy Whiting, whose husband inherited land adjoining Harvard Forest that had been in his family since the 1700s, says visitors "really like to choose and cut" their trees. The farm's gift shop is also filled with homespun gifts that will make recipients feel as though you’ve gone out of your way to choose something unique.
