Bob and Betty Dush both grew up on farms and were taught to be good stewards of the land. This led Grandpa into a career as a Soil Conservationist here in Wooster, while Grandma was a beloved second grade teacher. Bob was the first in his family to attend college, and with three kids of their own coming up, he and Betty were determined to do the same for them. Realizing they would need some extra income, they had an idea that some thought a bit crazy: Growing and selling Christmas Trees. They found and bought an abandoned farm, used the family car as a tractor, and spent countless hours tending those first seedlings. Their new baby was called “Yuletide Tree Farms”. Their hard work made it a successful operation; it was one of Northeast Ohio’s first plantation-style farms.
