The shop

Knit in New England.

The farm's fleece goes to the New England Alpaca Fiber Pool. Finished goods come back, knit in New England from pooled fiber. A few items are knit from Peruvian alpaca — Jim's note: "Peru's been doing it for thousands of years."

Open in person October–December at the Backporch PacaStop, 58 Adams Road.
