Loch's Maple & Fiber Mill

What a beautiful day in Northeast Pennsylvania!!!! Perfect day to visit Randy & Jamie Loch of Loch's Maple & Fiber Mill. Today and tomorrow they are hosting their 15th Annual Open House. They have been producing local Maple Syrup for 20 years and their product line continues to grow. It's a wonderful thing to have a great, sweet product made right here in my own little hometown. This is such a well attended event and we were a little late for their 1:00 seminar on the tapping, collecting and boiling of the sap. Because we were a little late, I wasn't able to get any pictures, but you can always visit their website by clicking on the photo below:

Not only are Randy and Jamie producers of local maple syrup, they also have a fiber mill on their property. This is quite an operation! They are so busy with this business that they have a 15 month turnaround. Their mission is to join in the preservation of agriculture and traditional trades. They are always willing to teach others about the industries that made America strong. If you raise Sheep, Alpaca, Llama, Angora and are looking for a company that you can trust, please visit them by clicking the photo below:

If you are ever traveling through the Northeast Pennsylvania region, they also have a shop where you can purchase a variety of their products. You may need to contact them for their hours of operation. Year-round you can always purchase their products on-line by shopping their on-line catalog. Just click here to see what they have to offer.

Below are just a few photos that I was able to take today.

Can you see the diapers?

I would have loved to get some pictures of some of the local artisans who were there demonstrating weaving, spinning, soap making, and blacksmithing but unfortunately I was unable to. Please support your local artisans who strive to keep these vital arts alive.
