Two growers shaping a tall Christmas tree with long-handled trimmers

Growing trees since 1955.

Before it was Corsi Tree Farm, it was Evergreen Acres. The name changed, the fields expanded, and traditions grew at the farm.

Growing Christmas Memories at Corsi Tree Farm

Written by Tony Wright. It appears in Cincinnati Catholic Neighbors and is shared here with his permission.

For many families, choosing a Christmas tree is about much more than finding the perfect evergreen. It is a chance to step away from the busy holiday season, spend time together and create memories that become part of a family’s traditions. At Corsi Tree Farm, families can do just that amid rolling hills, a babbling creek and a swinging bridge that create a storybook setting for holiday memories.

The farm’s story began with Lou Corsi and his father-in-law, John Bulow, who cultivated more than 20 acres of Scotch pine trees for the wholesale market. Before long, friends and family began visiting to cut their own trees, and the operation eventually opened its doors to the public. Lou and John expanded the property and renamed it Corsi Tree Farm.

The next generation continued that tradition. Lou’s son, Sheldon, inherited the business, built the Broken Stone Lodge and planted additional acres with a variety of evergreens. In 2025, a serendipitous meeting arranged by Sheldon’s daughter, Gina, brought the DiNapoli family to the farm as its new owners. Along with their friends, the Carpenters – who lead the day-to-day management of the farm, the DiNapolis are honored to carry the Corsi family’s Christmas tree farming tradition into its next chapter.

For the new owners, the heart of Corsi Tree Farm is simple: sharing the joy of Christmas and giving families a place to create traditions they will cherish. Visitors are welcomed like guests of the family - with a friendly smile, a helping hand and an invitation to slow down and enjoy the farm.

That spirit is especially evident during the Christmas season, when the farm comes alive with the excitement of families searching for just the right tree. The staff treasures hearing children’s laughter and watching families leave with their trees secured atop their cars. Those moments make the long days of caring for the trees and tending the land worthwhile.

As the farm’s new stewards, the DiNapolis and Carpenters also look forward to becoming an active part of the community through seasonal events, educational opportunities and simply providing a welcoming place for neighbors to gather.

Most of all, they are grateful for the legacy created by Lou, John, Sheldon and the entire Corsi family. Their hope is to preserve the farm as a special place where memories - and Christmas traditions - can continue to grow for generations.

Corsi Tree Farm will be open November 27 through December 20, Wednesday through Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Families are invited to visit, choose and cut their own Christmas tree, and experience a little of the connection, togetherness and Christmas spirit that make the farm special.

Years in the field before a day in your home

Our trees start as small plugs. Some take up to ten years to reach cutting height. There is work to do while they grow.

  1. 01

    Start small.

    We purchase Christmas Tree plugs from nurseries, which are then planted at Corsi Tree Farm in the spring.

  2. 02

    Keep the rows tended.

    Mowing keeps the rows cared for as the trees grow.

  3. 03

    Shape the tree.

    Shearing is the work of shaping a tree before it is ready to come home with you.
