Salsberry Christmas Trees
YOU SELECT AND CUT YOUR OWN
We started a long time ago
Wilford and Judy Salsberry were raised in the
Lyons area. Both Graduated from Lyons High School in 1963. In 1965
they were married and for the next 40 some years have been farming in Fulton
County. They bought a small farm in 1965
that had several acres of high blow sand. After trying to grow corn, beans, and
wheat on those areas for several years with no success they decided to plant
Christmas trees. Each year they planted 1000 and after 5 or 6 years started a
cut your own tree farm. They have added three shops and still plant 1000 trees
each year. Like farming , growing Christmas trees has it's own problems. They
have good years and bad years. Last year Wilford turned over half of the
tree farm to Andy Mattimoe and Jeremy Smallman. They had been helping for
several years and have agreed to do more of the work. Wilford and Judy are most often
working in their shop when it is open. They enjoy people and welcome
everyone even if you do not want a real Christmas tree. Just stop in and say hi,
You will not be sorry you did.
These are our very first Row of Christmas trees. Planted in the very early 70's.
