 Our Family Farm

Picture
Rusty Gate Tree Farm is a family operation with our sons and their wives.  John planted the first trees on the farm in 1985.  We started with a wholesale operation and a retail lot in Nampa, Idaho.  Recently we phased out of the wholesale Christmas tree business and now sell directly to our customers from the farm and at our tree lot at Hwy 95 and Dalton Ave in Coeur d’Alene.

In addition to Christmas trees we sell landscape trees to companies with their own equipment and we retail trees we dig ourselves.

We’ve been challenged over the years to have enough trees for people to choose and cut.  Deer ate many trees, and drought killed thousands of seedlings and full-size Christmas trees.  We fenced two fields and added drip irrigation using solar pumps to get water from our two farm ponds.  We’re planting cover crops to protect our soils and are considering Shropshire sheep for vegetation management.  We’re looking forward to seeing our little seedlings survive hot, dry summers and grow into beautiful Christmas trees for you, our customers.

This year we come full circle with our kids running a tree lot in Coeur d’Alene and spending more time on the farm.  We’re expanding our space to grow more Christmas trees by logging a ponderosa pine field that John planted in 1985. 

We’re grateful for our customers and proud that you get some of the most beautiful, fresh Christmas trees in northern Idaho!  


​Thank you!
