Count Your Blessings One By One

Welcome To Jen's Wreaths!

About Jen's Wreaths

A lot has changed in the past 21 years. Jen's Wreaths has grown from a few dozen wreaths in the back of a pickup to our present day status of shipping hundreds of wreaths from coast to coast. We've expanded our product line of balsam fir products over the years and improved the user-friendliness of our website. However, some things have remained the same. We are still a hard-working family, handcrafting each and every wreath at our farm. We oversee the entire process, to assure you of a wreath with excellent quality. Our standards haven't changed! You'll find personable customer service and flexibility to meet your needs. We still strive to provide every one of our customers with a quality wreath at a reasonable price. Located in snowy north central Minnesota, we're ideally situated to provide you with the freshest balsam fir. Careful planning takes place all year around, to give you the freshest product possible. As winter approaches, so does "Wreath Season" in our household. Conversations around the dinner table turn to the task at hand. We look forward to the hustle and bustle. Each year we find several returning faces, resulting in Jen's Wreaths having an experienced wreath making staff of friends and family.

About Sam & Jenny McFadden, Owners

When purchasing our farm at auction in 2003, we had no idea of the adventure that awaited us. Newlyweds with an entrepreneurial mindset, we set out to put our farm to use. Gardening/Farming in the summer, Christmas Wreaths in the winter, and full-time jobs on the side. We were incredibly blessed with several outbuildings on the property, giving us ample manufacturing space.

Life has changed a lot and continues to change as our children take on roles within our businesses. Today, we are 100% completely self-employed with three small businesses in the timber industry, farming, and our seasonal wreath making.

Sam's Bio

Growing up in Southwestern Minnesota provided Sam with ample farming experience. Whether it's collecting model farm toys or plowing the present-day field, farming is in his blood. He is also an experienced machine operator and logger. Owning his own cut-to-length harvesting system is yet another aspect of daily life. On a lighter note, Sam enjoys reading, teaching, and a good wrestling match with the kids!

Jen's Bio

A lifelong resident of Northern Minnesota, Jenny grew up making wreaths as a kid. She has a business degree from the College of St. Scholastica and lots of design experience. Now an official stay-at-home mom, she is able to put her creativity to use designing balsam fir wreaths. On a quiet day, a trip to the beach, casting a line in the water, or just a walk in the woods is greatly enjoyed.

Sam Jr.'s Bio

Now a young adult and senior in high school this year, Sam enjoys traveling, painting, and people. He spent time this year in Israel and plans to travel to Turkey and Greece in the coming year. He participated in local farmer's markets selling his pumpkin crop and decorative corn, squash, and gourds he grew. Sam took over as shop manager last season and did a fantastic job using his creative talent and people skills. Designing new balsam fir products, communicating with employees, and maximizing efficiency in our shop space is what he's good at. We're so happy to have him back for another season!

He is a sophomore this year and enjoys fixing things with Sam Sr. He does various tasks around our farm and enjoys the trade type things like welding and mechanics. Math is his favorite subject. He has joined us part-time working in our office generating shipping labels and also in the shop clamping wreaths on the foot pedal machine. We are thrilled to have him on board.
