Fiber Farm

For a little over a decade, I owned and managed an alpaca farm in rural Tennessee.

The farm was a working example of a vertically integrated micro textile operation that included shearing, spinning, weaving, sewing, natural dyeing, and product design. Numerous revenue streams included farm tours, workshops, online sales, educational outreach, and art shows.
