While in Canada we took a day trip to Belfast Mini Mills on Prince Edward Island, just as we did in June of 2007.

The company makes small machines for every step of the fiber milling process (from raw fiber to yarn), and they also run a mill operation themselves.  This is the mill building:

And here is the mill store, where they sell yarn, batting, and various woven and knit objects:

Since the last time we’d been there, they had also opened up a tea room, where we had lunch:

I also had a pot of lovely, local blueberry tea with lunch.

Of course I had to take pictures of the various animals on the property, including llamas:

Pom-pom ducks:

Chickens, one of whom had very feathery feet:

Inquisitive goats:

and some young birds in a cage, which may be some sort of game bird:

There was also this little dog behind the counter in the store:

You can see pictures of individual machines on their site, but here’s a bunch of them in the mill:
