Our Heritage
The Van Slooten family has been cultivating conifers since Folkert Van Slooten purchased our little piece of West Olive, Michigan in 1891. What began as a small family farm has grown into one of the Midwest’s premier nurseries, specializing in genetically superior seedlings.
Growing genetically superior seedlings since 1934.
