Connect, Create, and Enjoy a Simpler Life

Farm, Fibre, Food & Friends is a handcrafting experience specially designed for small groups and hosted on our family farm in southeastern Manitoba.

During the afternoon/evening, you’ll discover the unique process of creating with wool sourced right here – allow us to introduce you to the soil and land the livestock have been raised on, feel the raw fleece on the sheep’s back, and learn the traditional process of preparing the wool. At the end of the day, take home a one-of-a-kind crafted masterpiece you created yourself. Seasonal handcraft options below.

Foster a strong bond with the land as you savour a delicious farm-to-table food that has been harvested in our fields, pastures and forests, while enjoying each others company.

This experience is eco-friendly, waste-free, and uses local ingredients and supplies produced right here on the farm.
