Maine Fiberarts Tour Photos

The Maine Fiberarts Tour was well attended last weekend and we all enjoyed sharing our knowledge of fiber, fiber animals and methods of using fiber in creative ways. Take a picture tour of the event at Eolian Farm Llamas and Shetlands.

Open Farm Day

I hope that everyone who visited our farm on Open Farm Day had as much fun as we all did last Sunday. Although the preparation is always hectic I find it is worth the extra effort when children learn how to weave, spin or learn what transformations fiber goes through to become clothing. Everyone loves to visit with the animals, feed them carrots, touch a nose, scratch a chin or walk with them in the pasture. Next farm event is this coming weekend with the Maine Fiber Arts Tour on Friday through Sunday, August 7,8 & 9. Stay posted for information on visiting fiber artists and activities that will be ongoing through the weekend.

What happened?

What happened to May and June? Have I been that busy with shearing, fiber, planting and visitors? Well it's time to change that for a while. How about some before and after pics of the sheared llamas and sheep? Here you go, they love their new nakedness! Has to feel SO good to rub up against a rock or get drenched in the rain without all that fleece weighing you down.
