2 Point Farm will be participating in the I-75 Yarn Crawl again in 2021! The crawl is a 9 day event along the I-75 corridor in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. You can visit all kinds of yarn shops, find new and exciting yarns and other treasures, and have a chance to win some fabulous prizes! See the official I-75 Yarn Crawl website for more information and to request your FREE passport via email at www.thei75yarncrawl.com.
For our fifth year on the I-75 Yarn Crawl, our farm store is stocked with hand spun and mill spun yarn made from our own Suri alpaca herd. We have both hand dyed and natural colors available. This year's selection includes 100% Suri Alpaca, as well as silk blends and NEW this year, SOCK YARN! If you are new to Suri alpaca yarn, we can show you examples of the lovely items you can knit or crochet with this exquisite yarn and we can also recommend patterns.
Masks will be required. We will allow you and your yarn crawl companions to shop in the store before the next person/group comes in so that we can keep some distance between visitors. Hand sanitizer will also be available as well as an outdoor hand washing station.
Our Yarn Crawl hours are 10am to 6pm, July 30-August 7th. All other days by appointment only.

Why Is Selling So Hard?
You put your best out there, you tell your story, show your passion, and strive for quality. And people don't buy. Sound familiar? In this webinar, you'll learn about the underlying problem of why so many farmers struggle with selling and how Openherd helps to get things straightened out and flowing so you can spend more time doing what you love without sacrificing the sales that pay for your dream. Also, PNAA members will be given an exclusive offer that you won't want to miss out on, so be sure to attend!
Presented by Joe Preston of Openherd
Many farms struggle with selling. As the Director of Marketing and Design at Openherd, Joe loves to creatively solve this problem by making easy-to-use, affordable tools that help family farms grow and live free of the 9-5. Joe grew up in rural England and now lives in southern California with his wife and 4 children.
