Paul Illingworth
Consultant
Paul has a Forestry degree from Northern Arizona University and has managed the farm for 47 years. He took over ownership 18 years ago but semi retired in 2025 and handed over ownership to Alejandro Padilla. Even though he is semi-retired he will still spend some time working on the farm. He says there is no place that he would rather be than working on the farm. “It’s so beautiful out here and just a few miles from the city.”
Alejandro Padilla
Owner
Alejandro has recently taken over ownership of the farm. He has worked on the farm for over 35 years. He’s the one who does all the work to grow the trees. He is an artist when it comes to shearing (shaping) the trees and takes great pride in keeping the farm in good shape throughout the year and getting the farm ready for the customers at Christmas time. Because of his hard work a tree from the farm has won “Best Tree in California” for 5 years.
