About Northwoods Wreaths

Northwood's’ identity has been formed in its unique history. Its founder and current owner, Andy Barrie, grew up selling wreaths to friends, family, and neighbors as a Cub and Boy Scout in Milwaukee. In high school and college, Andy earned extra money unloading trucks of wreaths and later managing the wreath distribution center for another wreath company. Upon graduating from college, Andy opened Northwood's Wreaths in 1982 selling to Chicago area youth groups. After several years of success, Northwood's grew to five manufacturing sites in northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan.

In 1993 Northwood's made two strategic decisions. First, we decided to incorporate indoor/outdoor evergreen products made of premium quality Noble Fir into our fundraising product mix. Our groups quickly found out that offering a choice of both indoor and outdoor products increased their gross sale per customer and overall net profit. Northwood's created a new company in Washington State to manufacture the Noble fir products.

Second, Northwood's began to offer a Spring plant fundraiser. This sale leverages the same customer base that groups sell to for Christmas by offering quality annual and perennial bedding plants.

 In working with us you will constantly notice our commitment to quality. We realize that the products you choose to sell support the identity and reputation of your group.
