The Lutz farm was founded in 1895 by Matthew Lutz who came from Germany. His sons Henry and Herman took over the farm in 1939. At that time cattle was the major enterprise.

Herman's son Calvin (Pete) left Michigan State University in 1952 to take over the farming, gradually changing it from a cattle farm to a fruit, vegetable, and Christmas tree farm. In 1966 Fruit Haven Nursery was incorporated.

Calvin II and Calvin (Pete) When Pete's son Calvin II finished M.S.U. in 1978, he purchased his own farm and became involved in the management of Fruit Haven Nursery. Today Fruit Haven Nursery and Lutz Farms own 975 acres, growing Christmas trees, fruit and vegetables. Large trees and wreaths are a unique part of the total operation.
