                         RECOGNIZING PEAK FARMS

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, once again this year, a local farm in North 
Carolina's Fifth District has been selected to provide the White House 
Christmas tree.
  Rusty and Beau Estes, the owners of Peak Farms in Ashe County, are no 
strangers to this prestigious selection process.
  In both 2008 and 2012, Peak Farms provided Fraser firs to the White 
House, and in 2018, the farm was selected to deliver the Christmas tree 
to the residence of Vice President Mike Pence.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a terrific accomplishment, and it represents the 
best that North Carolina has to offer.
  Congratulations to both Rusty and Beau. Mr. Speaker, yet again, Rusty 
and Beau have proven that North Carolina's Fifth District is the 
premier provider of Christmas trees throughout the country.
