Sweep Farm changes its name at this time of year as visitors knows it more by the sign announcing Boston Road Christmas Trees
.
“We are all arable now, but I’ve always liked livestock and we had cattle and sheep. We came out of livestock when we sold our then 207-head of cattle in Selby livestock market in 2007. We still have stock on the farm with heifers on a bed and breakfast basis for dairy farmer Richard Danforth and sheep for John Rangeley.Peter said his arable cropping is across 275 acres and his main crops for 2023 will be wheat, barley and oilseed rape.
Will said the growing of Christmas trees was a long-term project but that his involvement in everything Christmas is now a long-established history.“We only planted our first trees in 2020 but I have been involved in the Christmas world since 2001, initially when I lived up in Scotland and since 2010 back here. We were giftware wholesalers and did a lot of Christmas wholesale, but after customers took their orders in September and October it meant November and December were quite quiet months.
“They are really quite hardy once established but we’ve a long way to go before we can start telling customers we are selling our own homegrown trees.In the meantime, Will said Boston Road Christmas Trees is building a solid reputation for its stock of trees and as a Christmas destination. “We have a few little businesses based here already including dog grooming, doggy day care, and Hue Interiors run by our brother-in-law Tom Daykin.“We have plans drawn up to convert some of the smaller buildings to light industrial units.
