Carnation Farms is a community-based hub for regenerative food and agriculture that educates and empowers the work of culinary, food, and farming professionals. We aspire to help create a thriving regional food system connecting farmers and culinary professionals around shared values of regenerative food, health and equity.
I'm an artist, basket weaver, nature lover, and now a farmer. I help people connect with nature and their creativity through natural fiber weaving. We work with responsibly foraged and locally farmed flora. Bringing nature into their hands. In 2024, I joined the Experience Farming Project and have planted 500 basketry/floral willows and will be adding other weave-able plants in the years to come.
Locally produced lamb, eggs, Pomeranian goslings, geese and chicken. At Starlight Manor sheep are selected for their fiber. Unique crossbred Shetland, Icelandic and Finn sheep some with Soay genetics produce very soft and fine wool in natural colors. Fleeces are processed separately to preserve the unique quality of each individual. I sell raw fleece, washed and tumbled fleece and ready to spin batts or roving. Beginner kits with a custom designed drop spindle and grocery totes made out of empty grainbags are also available.
