| Being separated from loved ones during the holidays is one of the most trying times for military members and their families... | ||
While there is no substitute for togetherness, the Trees for Troops program gives just a little joy to service members and their families during Christmas. Since 2005, 700 farms donated 83,957 Christmas trees which were delivered to military families in more than 59 bases across the US and seven bases overseas.

Stokoe Farms, Thank you so much for sending the real Christmas tree to me and my men. It was a great surprise to receive the tree and we enjoyed decorating it. It is great reminder of home and everything that we miss being over here. I live in Lima and i will be sure to visit your Farm next year to get my family tree!
Thank you again, Chris Harvey SSG ARNG (NY) 1st PH, 827 Engineer Co.

Stokoe Farms has participated in the Trees for Troop program by donating 40 trees every year since its inception. In 2010 farm customers and local Legions raised money to provide an additional 90 trees all of which were delivered to Fort Drum NY. This year, you and your family can contribute in two very special "Trees for Troops" programs. |
||
The first program: For a $30 donation, you can sponsor a tree as part of this program (see TreesForTroops.org for more information). Click the PayPal donate button below! |
||
|
|
||
The second program: For a $75 donation, Stokoe Farms will send a tree directly to a member of the military *from the greater Rochester area* who is stationed overseas. You and your family can provide your own handmade ornaments for an extra-special touch, or Stokoe Farms will supply the decorations before we package the tree. What a way to let Rochester-area servicemen and servicewomen know how much we appreciate their efforts to keep our world safe! It is a wonderful family activity. Make ornaments and deliver them to Stokoe Farms by November 14th so we may package them with your tree. Click the PayPal donate button below! |
