About Openherd

Openherd exists to support the success of the family farm by providing easy, affordable online marketing tools, all under one roof.

Openherd is unique because our easy-to-use system is built specifically for farmers to give them the tools they need to effectively market their animals and products online, and with the amazing customer support you thought was a thing of the past.

Successful farms have their own websites. But getting a website up and running can involve high costs, slow development, and frustrating editing—or paying a hard-to-reach web person to do it for you.

We've made things easy because we understand farmers and provide the tools and help you need to get set up and grow your revenue while you get on with the things you love.

Our system not only includes an amazing custom website as the heart of your marketing (Social media is a great place to find customers but not a great place to send them!) but also inclusion on our National Marketplace that brings qualified customers to your website so you don't have to wait years to build up your own search engine traffic.

Openherd has been serving family farms since 2007 and has helped thousands of farms "get over the hump" in their online marketing by helping them sell the things they love creating, so they can live free of the 9-5!

Openherd - Beautiful websites designed for farms

Openherd - Find farms across the US and Canada

We believe every farm should be able to promote themselves easily, effectively, and affordably.

If you're tired of expensive, complicated marketing that lacks results, then give Openherd a try today!

Arcata Natural Fiber Fair

From the website: The Natural Fiber Fair is now located in the quaint college town of Arcata, California up the highway from its former location of Redway, CA. September is a beautiful time of year to explore the North Coast. Arcata is a lively arts community bustling with returning college students and the festive farmers market on the town plaza. Fall is the perfect time for fiber artists to think about their winter projects. The Natural Fiber Fair inspires us with new skills and beautiful fibers. Education is an important aspect of the Natural Fiber Fair. Every hour there are several demos and workshops to choose from. Learn about basket weaving, natural dyeing, spinning, knitting, felting and more! Our vendors offer free demonstrations as well as hands-on workshops with a small materials fee. We have classroom space for longer, more in-depth workshops; pre-registration is encouraged for the in-depth workshops. Along with the fabulous exhibits there is something for everyone. Natural Fibers are our focus. Vendors from northern California and Oregon bring fiber, tools, books, finished products, and much more. The Fleece Market features locally produced fibers and roving.
