Tallahassee, Fla. — Continuing the annual tradition, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) are spreading holiday cheer by delivering locally-grown Christmas trees to the offices of her fellow members of the Florida Cabinet.
“The holidays are a wonderful time of year to celebrate with loved ones and focus on the values and traditions that we hold dear,” Commissioner Fried said. “We’re proud to contribute to the joy of the season, providing our fellow Cabinet offices with locally-grown, Fresh From Florida Christmas trees.”
FDACS, which is home to the Fresh From Florida program, delivered eight foot tall Carolina Sapphire trees from Bavarian Christmas Tree Farm in Tallahassee to the offices of Florida’s Governor, Attorney General, and Chief Financial Officer on Friday. A Fresh From Florida member since 2012, Bavarian Christmas Tree Farm is owned and operated by Franco, Sigrid, and Robert Camacho, who have supplied Christmas trees for the Cabinet officials’ offices for the past decade.
