Our names are Cline and Ellen Church. We started the business in
1977, some 27 years ago. We started out doing
all the work ourselves. We now have approximately
500 acres of trees in various stages of
growth. We employ 15 full time people and
add on seasonal help when necessary.
We have 2 children: Amber, 19 is a student
at Appalachian State University, and Alex,
17 is a student at Ashe County High School.
We grew up in Ashe County and still live
here. Cline started planting Fraser Fir when
he was in high school on his father's farm.
They were traditionally cattle and some row
crop farmers. This turned out to be the
basis for the business. The business has
grown gradually over the years and has
become more than we ever dreamed. We now
have approximately 500 acres of trees in
various stages of growth.
We sell the balled and burlapped in the Spring (March, April
and May) and in the Fall (September and
October) and Christmas trees at Christmas
(November and December). We sell wholesale
Christmas trees
to nurseries, landscapers and garden centers
in the Northeast and Midwest. The Christmas
trees are wholesale to a lot of our nursery
customers, as well as some who only sell
Christmas trees, (farmers markets, corner lots,
produce vendors, chain stores). We also have
several Christmas tree and wreath customers
who include organizations that sell
Christmas trees for fundraising (boy scout troops, churches,
clubs, etc.). |
