Covid-19 Safety
Some positive things we're doing to fight Covid-19
Hansen Tree Farm has developed many new measures to ensure the health and safety of our customers and workers. We follow all guidelines of
Stay SafeMN, (update 11-18-2020, Executive Order 20-99) and share its recommendation that, "Time spent outside provides many benefits. We encourage outdoor recreation as a good way to stay healthy, reduce stress, and enjoy time with family. However, it is essential to follow the guidelines from the Minnesota Department of Health... For months we’ve thought about how to increase your already ‘distanced’ experience at our farm and forest to make this year truly safe and memorable. Some of the changes:
- A fast, contactless entry option (follow signs)
- Masks:
- All workers wear masks
- Customers should wear masks anytime you are interacting with anyone outside of your group, including our employees.
- Free single use masks available at entrance
- Cashiers will be working outside. When you approach the check out please stay in your vehicle. Your tree will quickly be shaken, baled and tied on while you pay without leaving your car.
- On-line, contactless payment option (have email receipt available)
- No central bonfire, to avoid a crowd gathering
- We’ve created 50 private campfire sites to gather with your immediate family/household!
- Lots of firewood & kindling, help yourself from stacks or workers will deliver it to each fire circle
- No food or beverages this year & no gift shop
- All wreaths and greenery are displayed & sold outside
- Our farm has always had field parking, spread out on our 40 acres. This makes it easier for you and is a perfect fit for social distancing.
- A new shelter as a 2nd check out station to shake, bale & load your tree
- Additional portable toilets (sanitized regularly) & sanitation stations
- Heated diaper changing station is sanitized regularly
- We’re open twice as many days this year, come on a less busy weekday
- Saws are sanitized after each use
- As always, a digital version of our field map is available
- Our workers will have temperatures checked each day
- Our tree handlers are in pairs; either spouses, siblings, or in their ‘bubble’
Use our farm and forest as an escape from your routine. Visit and enjoy our forest, our fields of beautiful Christmas trees, the crisp fresh air and room to roam!
