U Cut Tree Farm in Medford marked its 40th year when it opened for the 2025 Christmas season on Friday.
The family-owned farm (located on Camp Baker Road) offered families affordable trees with free seasonal touches while planning sustainably by limiting cuts to about 1,000 trees each season.
A cat has been stuck about 75 feet up a tree in Talent since Tuesday and rescue crews have still not reached the pet.
