Goodness Grows In North Carolina...
The Goodness Grows in North Carolina program is the official promotional program of the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The program was originally conceived
as a broad-based way to promote top quality NC agricultural products. Beginning in 1998, some
changes have been made to tailor part of the program to the Christmas Tree and Nursery Industries.
Membership in the program is free to all qualified producers of North Carolina agricultural products. Qualifications for Christmas Tree Growers and Nurseries include:
1) Production facilities or corporate headquarters must be located in North Carolina.
2) Facilities and or products must meet all Federal and State regulations where applicable.
3) The Goodness Grows logo can only be used on plants that are:
a) Grown in North Carolina
b) Meet or exceed the USDA standard for # 2 Christmas trees (for cut trees)
c) Meet or exceed the American Standard for Nursery Stock as published by the ANLA.
The Goodness Grows in North Carolina program is not intended as a substitute for any of the
programs of the NCCTA. The NCDA & CS encourages you to continue your support of the North
Carolina Christmas Tree Association and the outstanding work the association does for the North
Carolina Christmas Tree Industry.
The Goodness Grows in North Carolina symbol is registered with the Secretary of State, and it’s use is regulated solely by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

farms, making an important economic contribution to many
rural communities in the United States.

“greenhouse” gasses and release fresh oxygen into the air. A
Real Christmas tree has a fragrance beyond compare.
✓ One acre of Christmas trees provides the daily oxygen
requirement for 18 people. There are about 500,000 acres of
Christmas trees in the United States which collectively provide
oxygen for 9 million people daily. Young, fast-growing trees

winter shelter for songbirds in your yard.

surfaces of Real trees grown outside. You can wash most

and fireplaces can start tree fires.
