First year not selling got me reminiscing. Ask me anything. For context - when I was 18 I got a job selling Christmas trees, became basically family with the owners(old married couple no kids) after 3 years they asked if I’d take over eventually and stated to train me to run it for them. Did that for about 6 years. No trees this year as our tree farmer lost a lot of his stock to fires and couldn’t supply us.
How much do you make per season?
What do you do the rest of the year?
Between $100,000-$250,000(that was the best year we’ve ever had) Ultimately it depends on how many trees we can sell during the season. We’d start day after thanksgiving and go until the the trees are gone. I’ve only ever seen one year where we didn’t sell out. But we had already made profit for the season so it wasn’t a big deal. And back when I started I worked as a carpenter and was out of work at the time, after that I’d save me pto and take off work to sell trees. Now I have a small business I run year round.
