About the Farm
Our Washington County farm is part of an 1852 Donation Land Claim by John Harrison, an early settler in the Banks community. The house dates back to the late 1800s, with additions and changes over the years.
The farm passed to Henrietta Jesse’s family in the 1950s and continues today as a mix of field crops, Christmas trees and woodlot. In 2007 we began a conservation planting along Bledsoe Creek, the north boundary. The goal is to replace invasives like blackberries and reed canary grass with native plants that will protect the stream and provide shelter for wildlife.
We hope that customers will spot even more ducks and Canada geese in the flooded lowland fields, signs of deer and elk, hawks overhead, and even the bald eagle nest in the woods to the north.
Ten years ago, we bought the farm and continued growing and selling Christmas trees. This is our happy place and we love sharing this place with customers, friends, the Banks Youth soccer and our animals.

A Family Tradition
A Christmas tree from Harrison Road Farm can be part of your holiday tradition. Please ask if you’d like a helper to hold the camera, so you’ll have a photo of the whole family. See our gallery of Holiday Memories from our customers.
