As many of you know we are growers in two states.  Our home choose and cut farm is located in Harvard, IL, and our Wisconsin farm is located outside of Wild Rose, WI.  We are one of only two Illinois farms that grow in both states.

Our Wisconsin farm is not a choose and cut or wholesale farm but our own private-source farm for pre-cut trees to supplement our home choose and cut farm at Christmas time.   We only select the best trees to harvest fresh throughout the season.  We also continue to work with other premium growers in Wisconsin to maintain an adequate supply of pre-cut trees and boughs.

It is all but impossible to grow quality fir trees in Illinois comparable to the great trees of Wisconsin.  The following fact should bolster this claim.   Wisconsin tree farmers win the national Christmas Tree contest every 5-7 years and put a tree in the White House.   Illinois has never done that.  I will put our Wisconsin grown Fraser, Canaan and Balsam Fir up against anything grown in Illinois including on our home farm.   It’s not a dig but a fact.
