Locating a fiber farm, artist and maker
This annual event happens in October. Participating sites choose their dates – generally the first or second, or both the first and second weekends in October. Please check back often as sites are added for the upcoming year.
Tips for exploring Maine’s fibershed this fall:
- We recommend checking local listings before you head out. Most sites represent Maine’s fibershed – a group of interconnected businesses in a geographic area. They are working farms and small businesses manufacturing and crafting products and have various seasonal tasks related to their work.
- Each location is different and may update schedules and activities as the event date nears.
- Check back for updates, and find more details about activities that host sites publish on the Real Maine event calendar.
- If you’re new to fiber production in Maine, we encourage you to read about the ways you can support fiber production in Maine.
If you are a Maine farm or fiber processor who would like to participate (or know of a fiber farm, maker, or artisan, who would like to participate), please use this form to update your event sign-up or email Real Maine.
