Read MoreThe Northeast Counties Farm Bureau serving Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull counties is excited to highlight one of our valued business members who plays an important role in supporting local agriculture and strengthening our rural communities. These spotlights are our way of recognizing the businesses that invest in Farm Bureau through Group Member sponsorships and help make a positive impact for agriculture across our communities.
This week’s Business Member Spotlight is…….
Located in Lake County, Brotzman’s Nursery was founded by Charles and Dorothy Brotzman in 1952. Purchasing 20 acres of farmland, the Brotzmans built their nursery foundation, cultivating the first nursery crops as well as maintaining the peaches and asparagus that were already there. After seven years, Brotzman’s Nursery began as The Home of Happy Evergreens as evergreens were their primary crop in the beginning.
The nursery is home to over a dozen unique plants, including the Lavender Twist Weeping Rosebud, Street Keeper Columnar Honey Locust, and the White Tigress Striped Maple. Although the nursery’s fields are small, often rotated between permanent plantings of large exotic trees and rhododendrons, the fields are usually full of an assortment of plants.
