History:

Country Lane Tree Farm is owned and operated by the Bowlander family, the 6th generation to operate the farm.  The Family Homestead, Barn and buildings were built in 1883.  The same family has farmed the farm for over 126 years. Country Lane Tree Farm is still a working agricultural and animal farm.  The Bowlander’s are very proud of the history of their farm.  The farm is located on the old Trolley Car Line that ran from Toledo to Lakeside Marblehead. One of the old concrete supports still stands near the farm, as  does the White Rock Quarry in nearby Clay Center, Ohio. In 1987, they decided to diversify the crops they were farming and added 50 acres of Christmas Trees.  The Craft Barn was added as well.  In 1995, at the request of a teacher, the first school farm tour was held on the farm.  In 2003, the Bowlander’s decided to add a small pumpkin patch. (Which has now grown to 10 acres!)  In the Spring and Fall the Bowlander’s expect to host 1000’s of students, scouts, families and senior citizen groups on their farm.  Families are welcome during the Fall Festival weekends without reservations. However, weekdays are still reserved for School Groups only.
