Meet Tony Stefani, husband and father of four, who works with his dad to grow cut-your-own Michigan Christmas trees. He and Carla visit about:

• What it’s like to work all year for a business open nine days
• What you should do when you visit a U-Choose/U-Cut farm
• A family Thanksgiving tradition
• The different scents of tree varieties (you may remember this from last year’s Harvest Hangout with Tom Trechter)
• How he spends his time when he’s not working two jobs and completing a bachelor’s degree
• A book recommendation
• How Michigan Christmas trees get their (lengthy) start
• His favorite meal with endless possibilities
• His favorite quest with kids
• A more famous Stefani with a similar lifestyle (ha!)
