Welcome to our very own local fiber system. We are starting to build our Fibershed, one fiber farm at a time. Many of us are first-generation farmers, and without the benefit of having grown up on a farm, we’re learning on our own as we go, with the help of the online webinars, online guides, and online forums.
Our NJ Fibershed will not only be a watershed of local fiber products; it will also serve as a common source of farming knowledge and education, connecting us with one another so that we can share our experiences and skills. And if we can come together in one place, we can become a resource for our local fiber artists looking for farm wool, and for anyone who aspires to raise their own flock of fiber animals.
I invite you, if you raise fiber animals and want to learn about processing fiber, or if you’re a fiber artist in NJ looking for local fibers, or if you’re simply curious about what the day of a fiber farmer really entails. Join us by signing up for our quarterly newsletter, or support us through your membership.
