Maine Christmas tree farmer finds his roots

One of the town’s oldest properties is now home to one of its newest businesses.

The Old Farm Christmas Place opened its tree farm and shop to customers earlier this month, nearly a decade after Jay Cox bought the historic Dyer-Hutchinson farmhouse on Sawyer Road.

He has renovated the Cape Cod-style house that has stood on the property since the 1790s, built a timber-frame barn and other structures, cleared the fields and planted neat rows of balsam firs on the rolling landscape.
