A Family Farm Tradition
At Jamie Helsel Tree Farms, Christmas tree farming is a generational legacy.
Our Story

Jamie Helsel Tree Farms is a prime example of a small, family owned and operated farm. While Jamie handles the day-to-day operations and runs the farm mostly on his own, it remains a family effort at its core. His children grew up helping with every aspect of the business. Even though they are adults now, they still return to assist whenever needed, especially during the busy harvest and holiday seasons.
Jamie’s roots in the Christmas tree industry run deep. He is a fourth generation tree farmer. He grew up learning the trade from his grandfather and dad. Gaining this generational knowledge helped him to develop a lifelong passion for growing healthy, beautiful trees.
Building this farm took years of unwavering dedication. For 12 years, Jamie farmed part-time during the day while working night shifts to support his family and his dream. His relentless hard work paid off in 2013,
12 years ago, when he transitioned to be a full-time tree farmer. Today, that lifelong calling and resilience are reflected in the exceptional quality of every tree we grow.
Our Services
What We Offer

Potted Trees & Spring/Fall Planting
For customers who prefer a living Christmas tree, Jamie Helsel Tree Farms offers potted Christmas trees that can be planted after the holidays. These trees typically range from 3 to 6 feet tall and are carefully dug to preserve strong root systems. Live potted trees are ideal for homeowners who want to enjoy a Christmas tree indoors and later plant it outdoors as part of their landscape.
Potted trees are available during several seasonal windows:
- Spring Season: April through mid-May
- Fall Season: Beginning in September
- Christmas Season: Limited availability
These trees are a great option for:
- Yard landscaping projects
- Conservation purposes like reducing wind erosion and supporting biodiversity
- Property borders
- Windbreaks and privacy lines
- Long-term holiday traditions
To make planting easier, we also offer tractor planting services, allowing customers to have their trees professionally installed on their property.
