Our Story

McCade, Kevin, Laurie, and Jannie (left to right) are the most recent members to live on the Gowdy Farm. Beginning in 1868, Each generation has left their own mark according to their talents and times.  Generations five and six have been involved together in planting the first of the new “grove” of trees in the mid- 1980’s when trees could grow with a little early care, to the current times when high deer population have created the need for more intense care of the trees. The more recent plantings include the Christmas trees starting in 2012. 

Our Christmas tree venture is part of a conservation commitment to take care of this earth.  Along with our plantings of other hardwood and pine trees, we hope to contribute to sustaining our environment.  Thanks for joining us in this effort.
