Meet the Jones family, proud owners of Peace Christmas Trees.
Ryan began working on his family’s Christmas Tree farm in Pennsylvania as a child. Though he grew up in the south, he looked forward every year to traveling north to help his family sell their trees for the holiday season.
It was during his time as an Atlanta Police Officer, that Ryan was encouraged to merge his passion to make a difference in the community he served with the skills he had learned on his family’s farm. He and his wife, Caitlin, started Peace Christmas Trees in 2014 and during that first year they were able to donate 36 trees through the non-profit, Operation Peace, to families who could not afford the joy of having their own tree. Each year as the business grew, Ryan and Caitlin also expanded their partnerships with other non-profits and local ministries allowing them to help even more families who find themselves in challenging circumstances. Along with providing their customers with excellent service, they are dedicated to building lasting relationships where they can share Christ’s love and compassion. Giving back with a portion of all sales has been top priority for them since the very beginning.
Ryan and Caitlin are also committed to instilling values of hard work and generosity in their three children who are growing each year in ways they can help with the family business. As parents, they emphasize the importance of dedication and teamwork, showing them that every tree represents not just a product, but a labor of love. As their family works together, they talk about the effort it takes to create a warm holiday experience for their customers. And by giving back to the community, they are teaching their children firsthand about the impact of generosity and the joy of helping those in need.
The Christmas season holds deep significance for the Jones family. It’s a time of joy, family, and togetherness, and they take great pride in knowing their trees will serve as a backdrop to these gatherings. Watching families get excited as they pick out their perfect tree to be the centerpiece of their holiday celebrations is a heartwarming and special experience to be a part of.
Most importantly for their family, Christmas is about honoring the true meaning of the season—the birth of Christ and celebrating the gifts of love and hope He offers to each of us. They are grateful to be able to share this Good News through the role their business plays in bringing joy to others during the Christmas season.
And they are deeply grateful to each of their customers for being part of their journey over the past ten years and making Peace Christmas Trees a cherished part of their families’ holiday traditions. Here’s to many more Christmases together!
