We (Jeff and Tammy) are third generation Christmas Tree Growers that planted our first trees in the spring of 1989. We have 2 children, Skyla – 22, Garrit – 18, and our 3 year old German Shepherd- Fraser. We unfortunately lost our loyal golden retriever Holly II in August but she will always be our business mascot as all the customers loved her. Both of our children have become actively involved in the tree farm as they have grown. Garrit is attending college at Hillsdale College in Michigan pursuing a degree in Mathematics and pursuing his dream of being a quarterback at the collegate level. Skyla has taken on the challenge of becoming an entrepreneur and started making Kissingballs as her own business in 2006 and is now a graduate of UW Green Bay with a Bachelor's Degree in Business. She is also hoping to expand the business as she purchased the property across the road from our tree farm and is engaged to be married in February of 2020.
For 11 years, we sold Christmas trees on a retail lot in Green Bay before moving our business out to our farm in 2000. This move allowed us to expand into the gift shop, choose and cut trees, and pre-cut trees. Every year our business has grown and has become a popular location for families to make memories while they find that perfect tree. It continues to be a rewarding journey as each year presents its own challenges but even more fond memories.
