Fiber Animal Experience
$37.00
Longing for a little Tasha Tudor energy in your life? Want a unique way to slow down and have fun? Love animals or yarn or all things old-fashioned or all of the above? Then you are invited to an immersive fiber animal and art visit at our little Fiber Farm located right outside the village of North Hadley, MA.
This is an enchanting way to slow down, be with animals, learn about fiber, and experience sustainable art.
Time with our fiber animals has been described as genuinely therapeutic, nurturing, playful, relaxing, and unique. This is not a “petting zoo” kind of experience at all! You can simply sit with the animals and commune with them or take a more active roll and feed, brush, pet and play with them.
You’ll spend an hour at Wilde Fiber Farm where you’ll meet one truly giant Giant Angora rabbit and three adorable and silly Pygora goats. Your visit concludes with an opportunity to tour my weaving studio, full of art, fiber, and special treasures.
Your fiber animal encounter lasts an hour and is good for 4 people. Larger groups please reach out directly to arrange. This experience is recommended for 5+. If you have younger children, please reach out directly.
Fiber Animal visits happen most mornings at either 9 or 10 a.m. Other times can be made by special arrangement; just contact us! When you register and pay, please mark in the NOTES section your requested day and time. We will be in touch to confirm your visit. Days and times are first come, first served, but your slot is confirmed once you have paid and booked on the calendar.
Please prepare for your farm visit with the right shoes and clothes, ones you don’t mind having wool or animal fiber on them. Be aware that the animals do best with calm and quiet encounters so this is not a high noise or playground like experience. Feel free to ask questions before your visit and we so look forward to welcoming you!

Fiber Animal Experience
Loved my visit to the farm with my 8 year old granddaughter. Sam is a great educator who welcomed Gert warmly, encouraged her and showed her just what to do to feel comfortable in the farm environment and in the fiber art studio. The visit was excellent; Both Sam and the farm are gems. It was a unique experience, that I hope becomes more known in our greater community.
It was such a happy day for us. THANK YOU!!! ♥♥♥ We both enjoyed your company and being with your lovely animals.
We loved our special time at this little farm, holding the bunny, patting the goats and seeing the studio. Sam made us feel welcome and answered all our many questions. We are coming back with friends!
The Over and Around Us tapestry is a beautiful work of art-weaving at first glance. Bright colors, both rich and soft, bright and enlivening. Full of depth of texture, and interest of added pieces, beautifully capturing the ethereal qualities of earth, air, fire and water. I was drawn to it immediately, and so happy to hang it in my sunroom, where I have enjoyed it everyday since. However, beyond it’s immediate appeal, as it has hung in my home, I have come to feel that it is not only a beautiful work of art to look at, but that it’s presence has made my house feel more of a home. Magical, grounding and inspiring. It touches my soul each day, reminding me of what I want to be connected to. It’s a magical wonder that Sam weaves so much more than fibers into her work!
When I first saw these wonderful creations, I immediately thought of them as perfect Christmas gifts for my two nieces who loved their Gramma Kay. Thank you for custom designing for them. They each sit in a prominent place in their homes.
