Blackberry Hill Farm

Growing and producing beautiful luxury fleeces and yarns from the beautiful llamas, alpacas, sheep, and angora rabbits that are cared for on our family farm.The Llama Garden is a year round, hands-on program that entertains and educates children about llamas and other fiber producing animals. Includes story-telling, animal husbandry, a history of llamas, and crafting a project with llama and sheep fiber to take home. Join a day or weekend retreat of fiber animals and knit, crochet, spin, or felt. Springtime brings lambing and shearing and the beginnings of the greenhouse, specializing in herb and perennial plants. Summer is a full schedule of farmers' markets and fairs. Relax in the flourishing gardens, which provide peace, beauty and comfort. During Fall, we prepare the farm for winter and attend the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY in October, and several holiday fairs and boutiques throughout December. Winter is the time for woodstoves, baking, and the holidays. From February to March, we harvest and cook maple sap down to the syrup at the Sugar Shack. We invite you to join our retreats and enjoy many activities in knitting, crocheting, felting, and spinning classes, and other workshops. Participate in a typical day of a working fiber farm or just relax. Allow us to treat you to a great day sitting by the beautiful garden, spending time with the animals, or keeping warm by the fire. All retreat programs include a nutritional midday meal and snack, using homegrown, local, and organic products. Blackberry Hill Farm, a Wooly Nice Place to Be!
