Raising Sheep for Fiber: Weaving Together a Sustainable Farm Business and Wardrobe

Saturday, December 7th, 2:00 PM, Room 305

Robin Verson & Debbie Apple, Greater Cumberland Fibershed

Join Robin Verson from Hill and Hollow Farm and Debbie Brann of River Cottage Farm as they share their stories of developing farm fiber products while protecting our natural resources using regenerative practices. From selecting and managing specific wool breeds on pasture to raising and dyeing with local plants, this session will educate and inspire you to join the growing Fibershed movement. This session is for all: the shepherd, the dyer, the spinner, the weaver, or the wearer of locally sourced, sustainably raised clothing.
