On Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12 the self-guided, 2014 Sheep and Fiber Farm Tour will be held in southeastern Minnesota with options to stop at 5 fiber farms plus the Faribault Woolen Mill.  Thanks to a couple of grants, the tour is free with the intention of informing the public about the associated animals, farmers, fibers, and products.  At each stop there will be tours, demonstrations, and, often, items for sale.

Three or so of my coated (see “Lambs don fatigues” post) ewe lambs and I will be camped out at Clear Spring Farm. This 40 acre yak farm is located near Welch, MN.  I will also have rovings and yarn for viewing and purchase.  The tour is open from 9 to 5 each day.  Tentatively, I will be there with the girls from 11 to 5 each day ( there IS a farm here that needs care after all…) For more info visit:
