Welcome to Winterberry Cottage in Alexander, Maine! We're located in the farthest reaches of Downeast Maine and just minutes from the Canadian Border.

We are makers of Maine Balsam Fir Pillows, sold from our online store and in shops around the United States since 1999.

A Maine Balsam Fir Pillow is filled with the sweet-smelling needles of the Maine Balsam Fir Tree. Some people call them Pine pillows but they are actually the needles of the Balsam Fir Tree. The needles have been ground and specially dried to lock the scent in for many years. The Balsam Fir Tree is the traditional Christmas tree and it smells no better than here in Downeast Maine. Balsam Fir is all-natural and was used by Native Americans many centuries ago for aroma-therapy.

Get back to nature with our incredible smelling all natural Maine Balsam Fir filled pillows and bags. Our Maine Balsam Fir pillows are superior in fragrance and freshness. The unique sweet and pungent ground Balsam Fir needles radiate a captivating aroma and will arouse the senses taking you on a relaxing walk deep into the heart of the Maine woods.
