Poultry, Lamb and Winter CSA SOLD OUT for season - Thank You for your support and a wonderful year!
Join us on our Facebook page: Carraig Farm
Carraig Farm (Carraig being Gaelic for stone) is the Leclerc homestead located in Ashby, Ma. Sustainable, organic practices are used including rotational grazing, herbal worming, vermiculture and natural composting - we would simply have it no other way. All land is under a forest stewardship plan along with sound agricultural and replanting plans.
The land that surrounds us feeds our 3 children year round with fresh vegetables, mushrooms, fruit, poultry, lamb and fuel for the New England winters. Originally cow pasture the early 1900's wells are still intact walking through the regrown vegetation and mazes of fieldstone walls covered in moss...being former city dwellers this is our bit of heaven.
Free range poultry and lamb, vegetables, jams, chutneys and eggs are available at our farmstand. Our grass fed lamb is available whole, half or by the cut. In addition we offer educational workshops such as wool spinning/dying and crafting. Please call us at 978.386.2379 to get latest inventory.
Warm regards, Tamara Buckley Leclerc and Scott Leclerc

Interested in learning how to spin?
We are happy to announce our 4th year of making fiber addicts! I will be offering both private and group instruction, whichever you are more comfortable with. Spinning can usually be taught in 3 hours using a hands on approach and a student will be able to walk away with a basic 2-ply yarn. No spinning wheel, no problem! A spinning wheel is provided for all instruction sessions.
Each class is three hours but can be changed to fit your needs. Fees are $45 an hour for private instruction, $35 an hour for group instruction. Private classes are held in my Ashby studio or I can travel to your location for group instruction (3 people required).
Classes will touch on fiber prep, types of fiber, dyes, spinning methods and setting twist methods. The art of spinning is never ending and always changing. These classes are designed to give you the spinner an understanding of basic techniques. You are encouraged to delve further into the joy of spinning with deeper instruction (dying and specialized twisting) but can also go on with just this instruction provided to make homespun yarns. Every student will be provided with wool to practice with. Various roving will also be available for purchase.
Interested in hosting a spinning group lesson? A minimum of 3 people are needed (more participants are fine if they have availability to a spinning wheel as I have only 3). Call 978-386-2379 to sign up and for further information.
Payment along with class date should be made to Carraig Farm
179 West Road, Ashby, MA 01431. No refunds will be issued.
