Specialties

We are a local tree farm that has been working with evergreens for over 50 years. During the Christmas season we run a cut your own tree farm, one of the only in the area with gravel roads that enable you to drive to your desired tree. We also have a petting zoo and full size, homemade Santa’s sleigh. We grow White Pine, Scotch Pine, Norway Spruce, Canaan Fir and Balsam Fir. We also have White Pine and Norway Spruce live trees (with a root ball) available. Wholesale Christmas trees are available for resale on lots, and we provide hand made fresh wreaths, and fresh cut Christmas greenery.

History

Established in 1960.

In the 1950’s while paging through an outdoor magazine I saw an ad for pine seedlings that could be planted for Christmas trees. I knew nothing about growing Christmas trees. But I did have some land to plant on. I planted 1000 seedlings scotch pine two years in a row (1955 and 1956) did everything wrong, weeds and grass choked out the little trees. They all died.

A few years later in 1959, I married Margie, purchased a little farm and started planting pine seedlings. I continued planting each year. As I gradually gained knowledge and experience my successes increased and my failure rate went down. As our 4 children started showing interest in the trees they were given as much work as they wanted to do.

By the late 1960’s people were knocking on our door wanting to purchase a Christmas tree. We quickly found ourselves in the cut-​your-​own Christmas tree business.
