If you would like to have ‘tea with the sheep’ and celebrate the upcoming Total Eclipse of the Sun, reserve a spot for Wing & A Prayer Farm’s Spring Totali-Tea with the Sheep on Sunday, April 7 from 1 - 3:00. We’ll be serving tea and Eclipse-themed treats (sorry, no special diets) under the apple trees near the barn.

Feel free to amble about while you enjoy the refreshments. It’s casual. We will be able to serve you or you may serve yourself, additionally you will be welcome to visit the other animals and our Wool Shop + Apothecary.

You will be able to commune with the sheep but we cannot guarantee the ground won’t be soggy - so wear appropriate footwear! We are not accessible for some as footing is uneven in the barnyard area. There are no public bathrooms.

Our maximum capacity for guests is 25.

In NYC at Vogue Knitting LIVE, I’ll be guest-lecturing on Sunday, January 28. We’ll also have our farm’s wool for sale in a booth all weekend. Sign up for the lecture now:

Enhance your appreciation for the natural world at this lecture from Tammy White of Wing & A Prayer Farm. Tammy uses foraged and found materials for luminescent, beautiful color on her flock’s yarns. Through inspiring visuals, she will lead you on a journey of exploring the world of botanical color.

You will learn how to derive color from a variety of materials such as petals, berries, cones, found objects from the field, the forest, and your very own kitchen. You will learn how to prepare your fibers for dyeing using simple mordants that can be collected from the garden or the woodland floor, and about overdyes and modifiers to alter your colors to produce lasting, naturally beautiful yarn. There will hopefully be time to explore eco printing and bundle dyeing for varied prints and colors using leaves, flowers, nuts, and bark. We’ll explore the various methods of extracting color from a range of objects.

Local resources are the heart of Tammy’s natural dyeing stock, but she also sources through a variety of methods to obtain colors as sustainably as possible. The lecture will begin with detailed preparation of fiber and dye stock, different methods of coloring your yarn, and samples of seasonal palettes.

If you haven't been to a Farm Day yet, you are in for a treat!  On Farm Day, Brooklyn General welcomes some of their favorite fiber farmers to the shop.  They step aside and let us take over!  We’ll showcase all of our current yarn offerings as well as other goods from our farms. It’s an opportunity to see, touch and smell the farm goods up close and take a little bit of each farm home with you.

If you are a city person with a real longing to be close to nature living a life caring for animals with hands dirty from digging in the soil, Farm Day is for you.  It is a way to feel close to the land and the sheep raising life by getting to know some incredible farmers who live that life. Farm Day is a way for BGS and our community to support these small fiber farmers. 

Farm Day will take place on December 9th from 12-6 pm.  This year's visiting farms are Wing and a Prayer Farm from Vermont, Mindful Folk Farm from Maine and Prado de Lana Farm from Western Mass!

There will be mulled wine, apple cider doughnuts, hot cider, yarn, pies and so many farmy goods!  I sure hope you'll join us!

To secure your spot, please RSVP here.  Farm Day is a free event but we need to know who's coming so we can plan for all the doughnuts!

Shop the Pop-Up Maker Market on Sunday, Dec. 3 while the streets of Stockbridge are closed to cars, allowing for their annual Holiday Walk. It’s a quaint, old-fashioned gathering with all of the Norman Rockwell vibes! You’ll feel like you’re in a Hallmark Christmas movie!

Just in time for the holidays, you can visit our brand new Wool Shop at Wing & A Prayer Farm in person. On Small Business Saturday, November 25, we’ll be open from 10 - 4:00 here at 983 Myers Road, Shaftsbury, VT.

We’ll have all of our flock’s woolicious yarns and batts, an apothecary full of farm made soaps and salves, candles and notions, and sweet farm friend inspired home goods such as tea towels and totes.

Farmer Tammy will have home baked pies, coffee, tea and cider for customers on this special day. There’ll be sheep to greet, weather permitting, so bring your boots! And don’t forget to enter our local maker basket-raffle, full of handmade, locally sourced goodness!

Join us for our Annual Open Farm at Wing & A Prayer Farm. Our Marketplace includes fiber farms, potters, jewellers, and more. You’ll be able to watch sheep shearing demonstrations, weaving demonstrations, natural dye demonstrations, and learn about the wooly wonders that turn grass into wool. You can Meet the Sheep, too!

There’ll be food and beverages.

Create your own Naturally Dyed Silk Charmeuse Pillowcase at home using our beginner friendly kit. Eco-printing/Bundle-Dyeing is a fun and artistic approach to the world of natural dyes. Tammy White will teach you in a Virtual Workshop on Sunday, July 9 from 1 - 2pm EST on Zoom. If you cannot attend, she will send you the link to the recorded video afterwards. Please include your best email address to reach you during checkout.

All of the materials you need for creating a sumptuous, silk pillowcase to rest your head upon come from Wing & A Prayer Farm, and the materials will be a handy way to experience a satisfying and easy botanical dye workshop. Your kit will be shipped to you in time for the workshop.

 Your pillowcase will be a one of a kind work of art, ranging in colors dependent upon what is in season upon the time of shipping. You are welcome to add your own materials during the workshop, too.

Discover the magic of indigo in this 3-hour workshop. We will learn about how indigo pigment is derived from the Persicaria Tinctoria plants and the process of extracting color ranging from moody deep blues to pale shades of the sky.

You will learn two methods of preparing your own indigo vats at home, as well as the tricks and tips of tending a vat long-term and troubleshooting vat issues.

In this class we will experiment with different dyeing techniques including Shibori, the Japanese resist-dyeing technique that involves twisting cloth and binding it to create a vast array of patterns on fabric.

Plan on wearing clothes you don’t mind getting messy and if you have a good pair of rubber gloves to keep your hands clean, bring them along.

The workshop is suitable for all levels of ability, materials included. You will go home after an evening of fun with cotton, linen, silk and wool fabrics and yarns, and the knowledge to make more at home!

New England
Farm & Fiber Festival
Spring Edition

Sunday, May 21st, 2023
10 am - 5 pm
Boston Public Market

Since 1987, this annual event has entertained guests with music, 100+ craft and fiber artists, demonstrations of traditional shearing and herding dogs, and historic re-enactors on the beautiful grounds of this historic, 50-acre estate. According to Executive Director and festival organizer Susan Robertson, "We're proud that the Sheepshearing Festival has become a New England spring tradition for so many. People often tell us that spring doesn't begin until the Sheepshearing Festival!"

Food, Fiber, Craft, Demos and more all day! We’ll be bringing our flocks’ beautiful wool to the Fiber Artists Vendor Tent.

In this 2.5 hour workshop at Taproot Market, we’ll coax color from nature and turn petals into a palette of beautiful dyes. Tammy White will introduce you to natural dyeing and share her experience in developing a range of hues from a few simple earth-friendly ingredients.

Each participant will get to dye mini skeins of Wing & A Prayer Farm wool for taking home and a generous, ombre-dyed cotton scarf for spring.

We’ll be vending again at Russell’s Garden Center in Wayland, MA for their Farm Fiber Days. Their popular Sunday Farm Fiber Days are scheduled to return on January 22

and March 5 for those who are interested in knitting, spinning, felting, weaving,

visiting sheep, petting bunnies, watching spinning wheel and sock making machine demonstrations or purchasing knit, woven, embroidered and felted items.

The event hours will be extended: 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM.

The 50+ vendors attending will include prepared foods and beverages. Come see the latest yarns and farm soaps and more that we’ll be bringing with us!
