Jerry & Bonnie Grzenda
Grzenda Farm Founders
In 1985, Jerry and Bonnie Grzenda began their tree farm on a small plot of land, with the dream to transform empty fields into a natural sanctuary.
Over many decades and tireless work, their family-run operation grew into a Christmas time staple in Livingston County. Then in 2016, a serendipitous reunion brought Jerry and Pat DePuy back together, beginning a long mentorship and friendship that continues today. Learning all he could along the way from these wise farmers, Pat fell in love with the tree life, and resolved to carry on their legacy for 40 more years after purchasing and gradually replanting a large parcel of the original farm.
Grzenda Farm continues to maintain the many acres of trees, woods and wildlife habitat under their stewardship, and proudly partners with the DePuys to help serve the local community at Christmas time.
"This is a great day trip! The kids have so much fun. A tractor takes you out to the trees and they have saws if you don't bring your own. Search, find and cut. That's it. Then the tractor comes back to help take the tree back to the car. The owners are super friendly and help you with whatever you need. Can't wait till this year!"
-Shawn, Honeoye Falls NY
"We purchased a tree and wreaths last year, and everyone who worked there was wonderful. We were able to talk to one of the owners for a few minutes and get the scoop on the farm. They had a very nice selection of trees, and were very prompt in picking us up and getting everything tied up. We are heading back again this year and looking forward to it. It may be a new family tradition!"
-Mike, Hemlock NY
"Thank you so very much for helping us gift a Christmas tree to a friend anonymously. Your customer service was outstanding!"
-Liz, Springwater NY
"A very nice location. Nice selection. Extremely helpful and friendly. I wanted to take my wife out to a tree farm as she had never been to one. It was a wonderful experience for her, and for our family. Would recommend this tree farm to anyone. Whether you just want to pick one out of pre-cut trees, or if you like the experience of picking and cutting down your own, this tree farm was superb!"
