Nurturing Our Family Tree

Our family overtook the business three years ago, but the roots of our story run much deeper. Pat Miner started his tree business over 25 years ago, believing a well-nurtured tree acts as a steadfast companion on life’s journey. We hired him to move trees at our family farm and purchased some of his bare root Oregon trees. Impressed by the quality of his product, we bought another one. And another one. And another one.

As Pat neared retirement, he recognized our shared passion for his products and services. He asked if we’d like to take over his business, and we accepted his offer with great enthusiasm. Today, we’re proud to uphold Pat’s beliefs through our own family tree. Each of our four children has enjoyed helping the business grow, and we look forward to passing the legacy onward for generations.
