From July 29th to August 7th, Smirlholm Farms in Morewood was alive with sunflowers – and hundreds of guests enjoying fun activities. Organizer Glenn Smirle opened the doors to the community with many activities including educational displays on beekeeping and wildflowers, horse drawn wagon rides, live music, and more. All proceeds from opening day were donated to the WDMH Foundation’s Cancer Care Fund. The tally is in and $2,000 was raised!
“We are so grateful for community members who organize fun events like this,” noted Justine Plummer, Manager of Direct Mail and Events. “The sunflowers were so beautiful, and everyone had a great time. Thank you to Glenn and his team!”
Glenn noted he wants to give back to the community and share his fascination with honeybees. The honey produced at Smirlholm Farms has been voted the best by the Eastern Ontario Beekeepers Association.
