Our History:
The Towner family has a long history of starting our own businesses from the early 20th century to the present day. The founder, Llewellyn Towner, ran a bakery, a car dealership, a dairy farm, and developed Goodhue Lake real estate to name a few! In the 1950's, Llewellyn's son Terry had a vision: to see a fresh Christmas Tree in every home. Back then there was no Christmas Tree industry to speak of...most people were still going into the woods and finding the best available evergreen to cut down. After planting several thousand evergreen seedlings on some vacant property owned by his father, Towner Tree Farms was born.
With the help of his wife and business partner Barbara, Terry expanded the Christmas Tree Farm into a successful and prosperous business that sold both wholesale and retail trees. In 1997, Terry's son Scott Towner took over the helm and added wreaths, sold in wholesale quantities as well as retail to any local folk who want one to decorate their home. Our goal is remains the same: to see a Christmas Tree and wreath in every house! If YOU are interested in starting your own side business selling Christmas Trees, then check us out today.
