Description
The Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm family farm began in 1950 with the marriage of Ross and Dorothy and their purchase of the main farm. They worked hard expanding the farm and getting their six children through college.
The Iverson family began growing tulips in 1974. The first tulips belonged to Dr. Holman who would ship part of the bulbs to Indiana every year for forcing. When he retired in the late 1970’s they bought a few acres of bulbs from him.
By the early 1980’s they had over 15 acres and needed to broaden the market base. Seeing this as an opportunity, in 1983 they started the Wooden Shoe Bulb Company which had a name change to Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in 2001.
