Canfield farm offers 7 different types of trees for Christmas

CANFIELD — Nearly 60 years ago, Paul Stepuk decided to plant some Christmas trees.

Seven years later, those trees had grown and along came the first selling season at the Stepuk Tree Farm.

The family business continues to this day on Washingtonville Road near Calla Road in Canfield.

“I just had a feeling I would like to raise trees,” Paul said. “We just kept adding and adding.”

Today, the Stepuk farm has about 45,000 trees on 40 acres.

While some people were out shopping for gifts to put under a tree, others were picking out the perfect live tree at the Stepuk farm.

Tom and Stephanie Taranto of Canfield were out with their children Alex, 6, and Audrey, 3.

Although she was one day past her due date for Alex and Audrey’s little sister, Stephanie and her family still decided to fulfill the fourth annual Christmas tree tradition.

The kids pick out the tree, Stephanie said. “We provide a little guidance.”
