About Us

Welcome to Conifera Tree Farm

Conifera Tree Farm is a 20 acre Christmas tree farm in Harvard, Illinois. We have planted over 12,000 fir, spruce and pine trees over the last 10 years with more being planted each spring. Our current choose and cut selection is limited to large spruce trees from 12 to 18-feet and a limited number of tagged trees in the 5-6′ range that are Fraser, Balsam or Canaan fir, scotchpine, white pine and black hills spruce.  We offer premium pre-cut Fraser and Balsam fir from our award winning Wisconsin partner farms and our farm in Wild Rose Wisconsin. Our wreath shop in the pole barn produces fresh hand made wreaths, garland, kissing balls and other Christmas décor.

Conifera Christmas Tree Farm was started after a number of years of research into Christmas tree farming that resulted from an interest in observing other Christmas tree farms grow and develop.  It stemmed from a love of the outdoors, an interest in agriculture, and the smell of fresh Christmas Trees.  This is the second Christmas tree farm I have developed with the first being in northern Wisconsin. In addition to our home farm we also grow trees on our Wild Rose, Wisconsin Farm. That farm exclusively provides trees to our home farm.

Our main goal is to try and grow beautiful Christmas trees and produce exceptional wreaths and garland in our sales shop.  Some things are just better done the old fashioned way and growing trees is one of them.   It takes years of laborious work and some help from mother nature to get a tree ready for harvest.  The work includes planting, shearing, fertilizer application, weed control, mowing and finally harvesting.   The results are worth it as nothing quite compares to a real tree at Christmas time.

We are a small 20 acre tree farm designed for choose and cut tree sales, pre-cut tree sales from our Northern Wisconsin source farms, live potted trees, and wreaths and garland made on site in our sales shop.    Because of our small size we have chosen to focus on quality rather than quantity and attention is paid to every detail of the management of the trees.
