Spanning most of the state, come and meet the livestock, buy some home grown fiber and locally made products!

And if that wasn’t enough, there will be a drawing for NJ Fibershed swag at the end of the Barn Crawl event!
To join the Fiber Quest, scan the QR code at each host farm location visited. Each scan is an entry into a drawing for NJ Fibershed swag that will be held at the end of the event (May 21). So…. the more farms you visit the greater your chances of winning!
