Hart-T-Tree Farms is owned and operated by John and Kathy Chefas, Christmas tree growers and retailers.
The company originated in Hart, Michigan, but moved their main farming operation to the Blue Ridge
Mountains to grow Fraser firs in the mid-1980's. The company headquarters is in Grassy Creek, North
Carolina, located in the northwest corner of the state on the Virginia border.
John is a first generation Christmas tree grower and a second generation Christmas tree retailer. John’s
father retailed Christmas trees in Chicago, IL for 57 years. In the late 1970’s, John and Kathy retailed
Christmas trees in Chicago until moving the retail operation to southeast Florida in 1980. Now, John's son,
Steven, and daughter, Carrie, are second generation growers and third generation Christmas tree retailers. John’s older brother, Regas Chefas, owns and operates Gethsemane Garden Center, an expansive landscape and gardening retail store located on the northside of Chicago.
Hart-T-Tree Farms retails its Christmas trees in the counties of Broward, Palm Beach and Brevard, Florida. With almost 50 years of retail experience, John is an expert in this business. His attention to detail, knowledge of this business and strong work ethic are unsurpassed.
Hart-T-Tree Farms is a proud member of the Ashe County Christmas Tree Association, the North Carolina Christmas Tree Association and the National Christmas Tree Growers Association.
