Local should mean something to consumers and it certainly is important to us at Laughing Goat Fiber Farm. It’s a major reason why we chose to become part of the New York State Grown & Certified program.

It means what you buy was raised and produced right here in our community, allowing our farm to contribute to the local and state economy.

It means we grew and produced the fiber that goes into every skein of yarn and every fiber product we generate.

It means we support our local and state economy, buying our inputs such as feed from nearby farmers and entrepreneurs.

It means we steward our land, animals and energy resources with sustainable practices including rotational grazing, watershed protection, carbon sequestration through tree plantings, and solar panels to power our home and farm.

New York State Grown & Certified is a badge that attests that Laughing Goat Fiber Farm is truly New York based and operated, that we contribute to our local and state economy, and that we farm sustainably. It’s an honor that we apply for and earn ongoing and we’re excited to share it with our customers and friends.
