Joybilee Farmâ„¢ is a fiber farm and fiber artisan studio.
A joyful communion of ethical husbandry and fiber artistry. Walk through natural dye gardens where eco-friendly, plant based, colours grow. Meet the contented angora goats, coloured sheep, llamas, and angora rabbits, that provide the fiber for our “wearable, huggable art” and art yarns.
