Simi Valley has little in common with the climate and agriculture of the Agricultural Core. As stated earlier in this blog, the land used for agriculture in Simi Valley has decreased over the past decades. One of the few exceptions in Simi Valley is the Christmas Ranch Tree Farms.
Located in the center of Simi Valley and started in 1971, Christmas Ranch Tree Farms grows Christmas trees year round on 17 acres of land between their properties in Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks. The ranch grows many species of tree including Monterey Pine and Sierra Redwood. The farm is a "cut your own" farm and opens every year the day after Thanksgiving.
