FARM STORE Open starting Saturday June 6th, 2020
2020 has been a challenging year for many - and having a community behind you to support your small business and local farmers - is even more important moving forward. As you can see from our events schedule below, we have experienced numerous cancellations of planned events - which are key to getting our products out to you. On behalf of us and our Crew, we would like to say a BIG THANK YOU for all your kind words of encouragement during recent months. For those who ordered products on-line - and took advantage of our custom milling and yarn/roving services many thanks. Every little bit counts!
Staying Safe During Your Visit
We are excited to announce we are planning for the re-opening of our farm store on weekends starting Saturday June 6th, 2020 at 10 am. We will be open on Saturdays (10am - 4pm) and Sundays (10am - 3pm).
To ensure the safety of all - we have made a few changes in our farm store. For all visitors planning to visit our farm store, please note:
* Face masks are required to be worn by adults and children to enter the store

* Follow distance guides provided on the floor to maintain safe distance
* Limit of 2 shoppers per group
* If you have been exposed to someone with COVID19 or suspect you may be - please stay home and plan
your visit at a future date.
To provide you with a safe shopping experience, we have added the following measures:

* Hand sanitizer is available in store

The Silver Lining
It's a good thing yarn does not have an expiry date, as we have a store full of alpaca goodness (including rovings and other new items). As always, we will have a Summer Gift Basket give away - every purchase has a chance to win - and these are always a crowd pleaser and worth over $150.00
A final word, remember, if you do not see what you are looking for - just ask. We offer custom yarn/roving order service for fibre enthusiasts - where you pick the blend and we custom made it just for you!
