The History of the Farm
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.
New Generations
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 Sprouffske Boys
The fourth generation of the farm is all boys.
Ranging from our college grad (Ian) to middle school, you'll find the youngest generation on the farm as well! Alexander is in 8th grade, Jared is a junior in college, Ian is a college grad now, Thomas is a senior in high school, and John Paul is a sophomore in high school.
You'll find them on the farm during the season
(and when the older Skis are home from the midwest!).
