Our Story
Athens Tree Farm is a close-knit family operation that encompasses over 600 acres of beautiful farm land in East Texas. We have close to 1,000,000 trees in production, with roughly 10% available for sale at any given time.
All trees grown at Athens Tree Farm have been grown from seeds or cuttings in certified Root Maker containers. With over 500,000 root-building containers in stock, Athens Tree Farm is continually opening up new fields to grow and sell additional trees.
Owner Kip Estep, along with his parents, Dr. Earl Estep and wife Pat, and a wonderful, dedicated staff, work together as a team to exceed excellence, not only in the fine quality trees offered for sale, but also in the lasting relationships built with customers. You won’t find a ‘fast city’ or ‘take a number’ approach around this family-owned farm.
We feel that extending a personal touch cultivates lasting relationships in business and we strive for life-long customers. Whether it’s meeting you in town to discuss business, inviting you out to the farm to view our ‘Rootmaker’ technique, or having you out for a day of fishing in one of our well-stocked lakes, we treat our customers like friends.
The point is… we do things right! ‘Good ‘ole Boy’ Texas style: that means we put our customers’ needs first to ensure superb quality, unwavering integrity and complete customer satisfaction!
