The events of this weekend were some of the biggest reasons we chose to be in business here at Balsam Hill Farm. On Saturday, we witnessed the kindness of a local Belfast family who purchased a second wreath and passed it on in the spirit of the season to another family shopping at the farm. Today, another local family purchased multiple trees so they could pass them on for other families to enjoy. The kindness and generosity in the spirit of the season was very moving.
