Natural Christmas Trees
Our Christmas trees are planted as a crop to sell. They are grown on marginal land that is not well suited for other traditional farm crops. For every tree harvested at Christmas, at least one new seedling is planted in the spring.
The trees in the grove provide a natural habitat for many different forms of wildlife. Songbirds, birds of prey, wild turkey, deer, rabbit and fox are some of the inhabitants of our grove.
Trees planted in environmentally sensitive areas have been left to mature, providing a buffer zone along the natural, cold water stream. These trees provide shade, prevent erosion of the stream banks, and enhance fish habitat. All the trees in the grove purify the air by consuming carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.

Our Story
Christmas trees have been planted on this farm for over 50 years by four generations of our family. They were first planted by Diana's dad Ross with his parents and siblings in 1962. Sales of Christmas trees began at the north end of the farm in 1969. New seedlings have been continuously replanted since then. The south end of the farm was first planted in 1972 when Diana was in kindergarten.
The farm is currently run by Diana and her husband Bob, and now the fourth generation, Ryan and Julie.
