We're excited to welcome back Becky Sanford of @ra We're excited to welcome back Becky Sanford of @rainbowvalleyfamilyfarms to the Art Shanty!

Becky and her husband Bob own Rainbow Valley Family Farm, a family-run alpaca farm right in Traverse City. Their love for these gentle, curious animals has grown into a farm dedicated to producing high-quality fiber from their happy, healthy herd.

Becky has brought a wonderful collection of alpaca-inspired goodies, including our favorite—beautifully knitted hats and gloves made with fiber from their alpacas. AND each knitted piece has the name of the alpaca whose fiber went into making it!❤

You'll also find soft alpaca yarn (for those fiber artists out there), blankets, and other cozy treasures—perfect for those chilly Northern Michigan days ahead.

Stop by the Art Shanty to meet Becky and see all the cozy things she has brought along.

You can also learn more about Rainbow Valley Family Farm and their upcoming National Alpaca Farm Day on Saturday, September 26, from 10–4 at the farm: https://www.rainbowvalleyfamilyfarms.com/
