Ria will be bringing her South West Colour Library project and other natural dye goodies to Fernhill Farm’s Fibre experience on March 16th.

Come to the farm where her wool comes from and immerse yourself in natural fibres, regenerative farming practices and new/old ideas!

The Fernhill Fibre Experience will showcase the Wonder of Wool, with displays of many British wool products, available for everyone to benefit from each and every day.

This one day event will continue to focus on the inclusion of many natural fibres alongside our wool harvesting systems, with a key focus on holistic agriculture. As well as talks and films focussed on reviving natural fibre industries, we will be discussing how to rehabilitate the land with animals grazing in rotation, conserving soils and enhancing biodiversity whilst harvesting replenishing resources that can benefit water, plant and mineral cycles.

2024 will see the newly refurbished Horseshoe Barns as the main hub, with traders, café, bar and relaxed seating situated around our nature pond. Talks and Films, Workshops and Farm Walks will also be available around the farm and fields throughout the day.

This is a continuation of our Farm Open Day, be held at Fernhill Farm during our Spring 2024 Blade Shearing season and will enable you to observe some of the top blade shearers in the Northern Hemisphere do their master craft and choose your fleece as it falls onto the boards in our 4 stand sheep shearing shed.
