The Harvest
HOW
Every branch is hand-selected at the point of harvest, chosen for density, fragrance, and condition. Nothing is stored. Everything is cut to order.
Balsam fir has one of the lowest moisture loss rates of any cut evergreen, which is why it outlasts most alternatives in arrangements and displays.
WHEN
Seasonal balsam fir preorders are expected to dispatch from mid-November, after three hard frosts, when the needles have set. Exact harvest and dispatch dates are weather dependent. If seasonal conditions delay the harvest, we will email you with an update.
For earlier or off-season wholesale requests, please contact us to confirm availability and timing before ordering. If you are sourcing for the holiday season, early contact secures your place in the harvest schedule.
If you've ever been to Maine, you already know this smell. It's in the air the moment you step off the highway and into the tree line — clean, resinous, alive. It doesn't leave you. A well-conditioned balsam bough brought indoors carries that same quality, scenting a room for weeks after cutting. For a florist, that's not incidental. It's the whole point.
BEYOND THE HARVEST
Some of this balsam finds its way into the work of other makers.
