Practices

Bergstrom Farms specializes in fiber arts and artisan goods. They raise alpacas, Icelandic sheep, and Angora goats, using their fleece and wool to create handwoven scarves, rugs, and dryer balls. Products are dyed with indigo, coated with polyurethane for durability, and crafted using techniques like needle felting and peg loom weaving. The farm also offers classes in fiber arts, emphasizing hands-on learning and sustainability.

Offerings

The farm sells a range of handmade items:

• Fiber Products: Alpaca scarves, table runners, and dryer balls made from fleece of their alpacas. Scarves are dyed black with subtle blue undertones and feature fringe.
• Home Decor: Indigo-dyed gourds, birdhouses, and hanging metal hearts filled with alpaca fleece and Icelandic wool. These items are refillable and weather-treated.
• Bath & Body: Beeswax candles, goats' milk soaps, and loofah soaps made with farm-harvested honey and natural ingredients.
