LocalFiber is a 501c3 not for profit educational organization our mission is to engage the natural fiber production community in our region and collectively address supply chain and marketing challenges. Each Holiday season we have host a pop-up shop in downtown Ithaca allowing us to bring our passion for fiber arts to the community. Year round we host sales, marketing, and networking opportunities and connect fiber farmers, producers, and artists in the Finger Lakes and Central New York State area to each other and to new markets. During November and December on Thursdays and Saturdays we will host a series of events including demonstrations and hands-on workshops on spinning, weaving, knitting and a variety of ways to create wearable art. Check our schedule for dates and times.

We offer memberships to farmers and makers in the following counties in the Finger Lakes/Central NY area: Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Chemung, Cortland, Livingston, Madison, Monroe, Onondaga, Ontario, Schuyler, Steuben, Seneca, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne, Yates.
