Annual Summer Fiber Day at the Farm

We look forward to continuing our late Summer or early Fall farm open house in 2025 – on a chosen Sunday from 12 to 3p. As is our tradition, we’ve been able to welcome old friends and new to a buffet lunch and farm tour which includes special moments with our animals – perhaps nose-to-nose – and insights into gardening for landscape habitats, pollinators and tips from our resident master gardener. As always, spinners, knitters and needle pointers will enjoy each other’s company and share stories and how-tos. If you’re reading this after our gathering this year – look for your invite spring or early summer next year or, if we don’t have your contact info, please send an email to us.

Our farm and fiber day is a wonderful way to get introduced to these attractive and special animals. Everyone who has attended our annual Fiber Day and Farm Open House has had a fabulous, informative time. They meet our animals, often quite intimately, and experience our alpaca fiber and sheep fleeces first hand. We have somewhere close to 100lbs of fleece after our spring shearing! Many questions are asked and answered about alpacas as farm animals and pets; their care and temperament, and much is learned about alpaca fiber, from shearing to finished product.

Local spinners, knitters and weavers come to purchase fiber or yarn and share their knowledge of blending, natural dyeing, fiber care and processing. Selecting an outstanding fleece from an animal you’ve met and ordering custom yarn or roving is always a hoot. Enjoy a buffet lunch served on our screened veranda. Good company and new friends makes the day enjoyable for all.
