It is going to be a sunny yet chilly start to the weekend at Balsam Hill Farm with some snow possible for Sunday morning. There is still a nice selection of fragrant balsam fir Christmas trees available in both pre-cut and choose-and-cut varieties. Fresh Maine-made wreaths are available to help complete your holiday decor. When preparing your tree for indoor display, don’t forget to take a fresh cut from the base of the stem to open wood fibers and allow maximum water intake. Keep your tree away from heat sources and from windows that take full sun for all or most of the day to prevent over-drying as it can be a safety concern. Try to give your tree a good shake or two before bringing it inside to allow for loose material to dislodge and fall out. This will reduce cleanup and improve appearance. Everyone at BHF is looking forward to another festive and face paced weekend and we want to thank all of our customers and friends who have made the trip to the hill. Your support of this small Maine business is sincerely appreciated. Happy Holidays!
