At Forster Herb Garden, Doug & BJ raise herbs, lavenders and alpacas. Our lavender field has five varieties of lavender. Blooming begins in May with the peak in late June or early July. We have UPICK events where visitors can pick their own bouquet, make lavender wands or an herbal wreath.
BJ's interest in spinning and weaving led to the addition of alpacas in 2002. The fiber endeavors evolved into Lola's Loom (named after our local legend, Lola Montez). Lola's Loom is open Thursday through Saturday where you can pick up alpaca fiber, rovings, yarn, handcrafted items as well as spinning wheels and looms. BJ is at Meadow Farm Yarn Studio on Mondays and Thursdays.
We sell Ashford spinning and weaving equipment and Schacht Spindle Company small looms and spinning wheels.
BJ teaches spinning and weaving both at the Studio and Meadow Farm Yarn Studio.
