Sprouffske Trees, Inc. began in 1965 when Fred Sprouffske planted the  first Douglas fir seedlings to grow Christmas Trees on his farm. 

He had previously leased 20 acres to Hoffert Tree Co. 

and thought it looked like an interesting endeavor.

In  1966, he spoke to each of his four children and the Sprouffske Tree  Co.,

a partnership of the 5 families had its beginning

with the first trees sold in 1972.

By the year 1978, the partnership became a corporation with wholesale and  retail (u-cut) trees being sold along with swags and assorted Christmas  items in the “Tree House” (retail sales area).

Of the original founders, Fred and Ethel-Faye, Larry and Mary Sprouffske, Bill & Nancy Roberts, Sandi Sprouffske, and Johnie Creamer are now deceased.

The owners are the remaining families: 

Jerry Sprouffske, Karen Creamer, Jonathan and Shelley Sprouffske, 

and Darren and Alisa Sprouffske.

The fourth generation of the farm is all boys.  

Ranging from college to middle school, you'll find the youngest generation on the farm as well!  Alexander is in 7th grade, Jared is a sophomore in college, Ian is a senior in college, Thomas is a junior in high school, and John Paul is a freshman in high school.  You'll find them on the farm during the season (except Ian, he's playing college basketball in the midwest!)
