Bellewood Farms Inviting Children to Seniors for Free Santa Photos

In an increasingly contentious world, almost everyone of all ages can agree on one thing: They would like to spend some time with Santa.

Whatcom County’s Bellewood Farms & Distillery is providing opportunities in December to take free photos of loved ones with Santa, ideal for cards and social media. Santa will be available at Bellewood Farms from noon-4 p.m. starting Dec. 6 and then each Saturday and Sunday in December leading up to Christmas Day.

“Santa photos with everyone from babies to grandparents are perfect for sharing the holiday season’s joy with family and friends,” said Eric Abel, president of Bellewood Farms & Distillery.

Caroling groups and musicians will perform periodically during store hours from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays in December. Attendees also may enjoy warm cider and adult beverages like Caramel Apple Brandy around Bellewood’s bonfires.

Bellewood Farms also offers gifts, apples from the recent harvest and an expanded array of fresh-baked goods, including nine varieties of pies, cinnamon rolls, pecan rolls and more. Adults may head to the distillery’s tasting room and sample the distillery’s new spirits.

Bellewood Farms is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday at 6140 Guide Meridian, about 7 miles from Bellingham, Ferndale and Lynden. For more information about Bellewood Farms, call (360) 318-7720 or visit www.bellewoodfarms.com.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
