Harbor Farm - Fresh Evergreen Wreaths and Centerpi
Harbor Farm has been making fresh balsam and pine evergreen christmas
wreaths by hand since 1986. Unlike many other wreath makers, we
don’t use machines to decorate our wreaths. The pine cones,
chestnuts, reindeer moss and of course, fresh balsam and pine
evergreen tips are collected locally in the woods of Maine and all
decorations are prepared and secured by hand by the local residents of
Little Deer Isle and Downeast Maine. Only the tips of the evergreen
branches are used on our wreaths and centerpieces, and this process of
harvesting foliage is known as “tipping”. This practice is
beneficial to the tree, resulting in fuller and more vigorous growth.
