Farm Features
Meet the farms and farmers we've showcased on Farm & Fiber Knits, and learn how they are making an impact locally and globally.
Introduction: A Visit to the Farm
There’s nothing we love more than celebrating and elevating the farms that raise fiber animals and create unique yarns, and sharing how they are making an impact locally and globally. As you scroll through the dozens of articles, you’ll be able to visit them virtually through their stories, but many also welcome visitors to meet the animals behind the fiber.
We hope you’ll explore far afield with us, and meet the farms and farmers we’ve showcased through Farm & Fiber Knits.
As we continue to feature amazing farms and farmers, please feel free to email us with your farm finds and recommendations. We’d love to hear from you!
