Join NJ Fibershed for a weekend of fiber immersion located at farms throughout New Jersey on April 27 & 28 from 10AM – 4PM each day! This year 2 South & 2 North NJ Host Farms are participating.

Come to meet the livestock, buy some home grown fiber and locally made products!  Meet farmers, ranchers, designers, sewers, weavers, knitters, felters, spinners, and natural dyers living and working within New Jersey and neighboring regions. And if that wasn’t enough, there will be a drawing for NJ Fibershed swag at the end of the Barn Crawl event!  Share your finds with #NJBarnCrawl24.

We’ll be doing a NJ Fibershed Fiber-Along again this year.  Fiber-Along 2024 is a free, open community of makers using items purchased at the Barn Crawl.  Anyone who attends this year’s Barn Crawl can participate.  It’s a chance to share what you’re making due to attending the Barn Crawl with fellow “Crawlers” as well as the makers who produced or influenced what you’re using/ making.  There will be monthly Zoom meetings to share progress on projects, with a final in person meet up at the October Fleece and Fall Fiber Sale.  Signup info will be provided at each Barn Crawl host farm and please share your project on Social Media using #njfal2024.

Entry Donation is $5  per person, good for both days.   As an entirely volunteer run non-profit organization, we must raise the funds to cover the expenses of everything we do: events, workshops, and training sessions.  Your Barn Crawl entrance donations will be used to cover expenses for biosecurity materials for our animals and portable restrooms for farm guests.

Donations in advance are preferred so farms don’t have to handle cash, but each farm will provide a QR Code/ url to make a donation via our website for drop-in visitors.

Join the Fiber Quest!  Make your online entry donation and you’ll receive a Fiber Quest map for this year’s Barn Crawl via email on April 26.   Donations for Barn Crawl 2024 can be made now!
