Events, Workshops, & Tours
Farm Tours:
We offer farm and fiber mill tours for groups to come and experience all of the things we do at Blue Mountain Farms & Fiber Mill. With the tour we see the mill, sheep, rabbits, have farm to table tastings, visit our farm store, and more! All tours must be set up ahead of time. We can't offer tours on the spot as we need time to plan and prepare the perfect tour for your specific group. Contact us today to set up your next tour with us!

Fiber Mill 101
One phrase we hear often in the Fiber mill is, “this is my first time getting my fiber processed and I am not sure what to do or how to prepare it for processing.” Blue Mountain Farms and Fiber Mill has decided to create a Fiber Mill 101 class for people that have an interest in getting their fiber processed! We will go over topics including fiber care and preparation, from the fiber growing on the animal to shearing, skirting, storage, and sending to your mill. We will be going over products that we offer in our fiber mill including yarns, roving, batting, felt, corespun, and fertilizer pellets. We really wanted to offer this class for all individuals who have an interest in getting their fibers processed or who want to process their own fibers. Education and preparation make for the best products our fibers can offer! Classes must have 5 people minimum and are $45/person. Contact us today to schedule your group.
