A Brief History
Robert and Margaret Smith founded Indian Ridge Farms around 1960 on 20 acres, with a tractor, a plow and a chainsaw. As they cleared the ridge they found Native American artifacts, which gave the farm its name. In the 1960s housing boom Bob delivered shrubs and plants around the area in a station wagon.
The Smiths sold their first 200 Christmas trees in 1972. In 1977 the family bought 180 acres of white spruce in Seneca County, New York, and the Christmas tree and landscaping businesses grew from there. In 2013 the farm moved to its current 96-acre preserved farm in Wantage, where it plants and transplants young trees.
