If you shop at Farmers Markets you are most likely very selective of the food you eat, preferring chemical free, locally grown “Slow Food”.

At WoodsEdge Farm, we raise “Slow Fiber” without pesticides or herbicides in our fields where carefully shepherded groups of healthy happy animals graze. Annually, our alpacas and suri llamas are shorn so we can harvest their luxurious fleeces and begin the process of converting it to yarns then hypo-allergenic products from socks and scarves to rugs.

Like many “Slow Fiber” herds, our animals are not all white like mass produced fiber, but rather come in a range of natural colors from shades of golden fawn and rich browns to smokey grays and inky blacks. Once the animals are shorn, we grade the raw fiber into six different grades and 25 different colors. At each step of the process, we select the fibers which are best for the end products which are made in “Slow Fiber” studios or small mills.
