About Us
Timbuk Farms is one of Central Ohio’s oldest and largest Christmas tree farms. The first crop was planted in 1952 and the farm now spans 300 acres.
When the dream of a Christmas tree farm became a reality for the Schmidt family, Granville was quite remote from their home in Columbus. So, a drive to the farm was like a trip to Timbuktu. Thus, the family named the farm “Timbuk.”
With many native species of trees, meadows of grasses and wildflowers, rolling hills, and three large ponds, Timbuk Farms is a unique environment and sanctuary for wildlife.
Timbuk Farms is also active in the research and development of evergreen species that are suitable for Christmas trees. The farm has had a major role in developing the Canaan fir as a Christmas Tree that is perfect for Ohio.
In 2004, after 53 successful years in business, the Schmidt family retired and turned the farm and greenhouses over to Jim and LaVonda Gibson of Granville. They have a strong knowledge base of the horticultural industry and are dedicated to producing the highest quality products. The Timbuk Farms name reflects the tree farm’s ties to its rich tradition and hospitality as well as to the new energy and commitment to service and quality in its entire farm and greenhouse business.
Plan your visit today!
What started as a Christmas tree farm has grown into a full-service garden center and a fun place to bring the whole family. See below for the latest and greatest around the farm, whether you’re looking for the healthiest locally-grown plants or wanting to make some lasting holiday memories.
