We planted our first Christmas trees in 1978 and have been harvesting continuously since1985. Some fields are now producing their third and fourth crop of trees. This is a family operation. Everyone pitches in during the harvest season, either cutting or baling trees, waiting on customers, hauling out customer's trees or doing whatever needs to be done.  Planting and fertilizing is done through the spring, mowing throughout the summer and shearing/shaping done in the fall.  Growing Christmas trees is an extension of owner David Schaible's forestry background.
