They also have their own start-up business selling Max’s Homemade Cupcakes at the diner’s pop-up window where they dish up the laughs. The CSA Share is worth quite a lot, so I want to say a hearty thank you to the Martha’s Vineyard Fiber Farm and wish them a very good year.The comedic duo that goes together like cupcakes and frosting is back in business and more hilarious than ever! It’s season 4 of 2 Broke Girls where Max and Caroline friends and roommates who work together at a Brooklyn diner dish up sarcasm and smarts.

We have a pretty good fiber guild and I am going to try to schedule a someone to give spinning and weaving demos.” I’m also going to ask some of the other yarn farms on Island if they like to set up vendor booths and sell their yarns.
Depending on the response we are either going to have a local cafe do box lunches or a buffet. We will be inviting other friends and especially other sheep and wool people as well. I asked Susan Gibbs about the Shearing Day celebration had this to report: “Our Shearing Day Celebration is going to be amazing. They also offer Spinner’s shares for both roving and raw fleece. The yarn comes undyed, and the farm is anticipating that each shareholder will get 10 skeins the first year. When I do the Touch It To The Back Of My Hand test it passes easily, and even as I type this I cannot stop reaching out to squeeze it. I was lucky enough to get to touch some yarn from last year’s shearing of Cormo Wool, it’s substantial and surprisingly soft.
And what gift do you get for the knitter who has everything? A yarn CSA share would be perfection, no? The people at the farm are very forthcoming to non-shareholders as well, on their site they have pictures of the flock, a page on their farm dogs and a blog telling us what’s going on. The share in the Martha’s Vineyard Fiber Farm gives you a portion of the year’s yarn as well as “a shareholders certificate, weekly email updates on what’s going on around the farm and an invitation to our Shearing Day Celebration”. We have CSAs for produce directly from farms, so why not for farms that raise animals for fiber? It makes sense to me but it’s not something I had ever thought about, so I was delighted when the good people at Martha’s Vineyard Fiber Farm contacted me to tell me about their Yarn CSA (the first ever!) and to offer one share of the 2008 CSA to a lucky Not Martha reader.
