COME EXPERIENCE:
THE FARM THE FLEECE THE FUN
A FAMILY-FRIENDLY FIBER ARTS FESTIVAL LOCATED IN NORTHERN IDAHO
the 2022 festival future:
The 2021 Festival was the best one yet!
We had over 1500 attendees, 40 vendors, live music, delicious food trucks, and more!
It was a great year!
However, the heat, smoke, and stress of planning such a large event has forced us to reassess the future of the Festival and what that looks like for our farm and also our family.
Our farm and our family are most important to us and the toll of putting on this event, was not worth the counseling my children and myself will have to receive if I continue with 2022 Festival. I can visualize it now... we already have a lot on our plates!
Plus, July. I know, it's hot, smokey, dusty... but, with everything else going on in our personal lives and our farm calendar, July was the only month that fit the bill for hosting this.
So, with that being said, we are postponing any future Fiber festivals at our Ranch.
Our goal and dream is still do build a large event center Barn on our Ranch and be able to host indoor events, such as Festivals, Craft Fairs, Holiday Shows, etc. So, until that can get built and the money rain down for it, this is where our hearts are at.
Family and mental health come first!! Especially in this day and age. And that can be a VERY hard pill of pride to swallow. But, there it is. I want my farm and family to thrive, not just survive.
Thank you to everyone who have helped make this event a success the past 3 years and keep investing in the Fiber Arts world!

What to wear?
Rain or shine. Wear comfortable shoes as there is lots of walking. Layers are best. Dress appropriately with your favorite handmade items to show and tell. You can always snag a sweatshirt in our store!... Just remember this is a farm! Leave the Gucci's at home.
Snacks for kids...
We do have food trucks coming! However...Lines can get long for food, so prepare to handle the young hunger pains with some simple snacks until the great festival food splurge finally happens.
