About
Established in 1990, Kraxberger Farms began with the purchase of a 30-acre Christmas tree farm. Initially specializing in Noble Fir Christmas trees, the farm quickly expanded into over 200 acres focusing on Boxwood plants (Buxus), a tradition that continues today.
In 2001, an additional 53-acre farm was acquired, leading to gradual expansion year by year. Now spanning over 200 acres, the farm’s primary focus is on Boxwoods, with more than half of the land dedicated to their cultivation. The introduction of new varieties to the collection is an ongoing practice.
Barry Kraxberger entered the landscaping industry in 1981 at the age of 20. Over time, he engaged in buying and selling landscape companies, accumulating fertilizing accounts along the way. Through his commitment, the company evolved to offer comprehensive landscape maintenance services, including spraying, fertilizing, and eventually full landscape construction.
The synergy between the landscape business and the Christmas tree farm laid the groundwork for the nursery. In 2012, Barry transferred ownership of the landscape company to his son, now known as Twin Oaks Landscaping, dedicated to providing exemplary landscape services to the community.
