If you think of oatmeal when you think of fiber - think again! It’s a shopping extravaganza as Castle Farms hosts more than 50 vendors with hand made goods including sweaters, original lace shawls, hats, mittens, soaps, rugs, knitting accessories, painted yarn, alpaca products, and much more.

While at the festival, you’ll also be able to visit live animals; enjoy interactive demonstrations in weaving, spinning, natural dyeing and felting; watch sheep dogs at work; see how sheep are shorn and visit with vendors who are fiber artists and shepherds in their own right. The popular fiber art fashion show takes place each afternoon. Many of the items in the fashion show are original designs created using fiber from Michigan farms.

Our annual Summer Party and Fundraiser to benefit underprivileged children in northern Michigan will be held at The Lange Center, Bay Harbor. Our chapter is located in Harbor Springs, and we have been serving the community for 28 years. Join us for this important cause.
