About Us
We are the third and fourth generations of the Michel family to operate this farm located in southwestern Montgomery County near Spring Creek. We have operated the farm since 1992. Carla's grandparents, Elizabeth and Fritz Michel purchased the farm in 1921 and together with their son Maurice (Carla's Dad) grew produce to sell in the Houston produce market. Over the years, the family has raised vegetables, watermelons, turkeys and cattle here.
Today, we are growing and harvesting approximately 15 acres of Virginia Pine and Leyland Cypress trees. We also have a full-time, year-round nursery operation here as well as a second greenhouse facility located near Waller, Texas. We grow seasonal perennial and annual color as well as poinsettias and specialty hanging baskets such as bougainvilleas.
Our family is extremely pleased and honored to continue our almost 90 years of agricultural heritage!
We are members and Bob & Carla are both past presidents of the Texas Christmas Tree Growers Association; Go Texan; Grand Champion Christmas Tree of Texas for 2001, 2002, 2006, 2007 & 2008; Supporters of Trees For Troops sponsored by the National Christmas Tree Association.
