Join us on Saturday, October 4th to welcome Anna Hunter of Long Way Homestead.
Historically our clothing was an agricultural product – rooted in our landbase. Now, we are disconnected from the source and materials and our extractive clothing industry is responsible for environmental degradation, atrocious working conditions and millions of tons of landfill waste.
But we can build regional textile communities that work to regenerate land, strengthen our agricultural systems and provide meaningful employment in rural communities. A re-emergence of cottage industry textiles can lead to healthier environments and a soil-to-soil clothing model connects us to land, animal and community.
About:
Anna Hunter is a first - generation sheep farmer and wool mill owner in Eastern Manitoba, Treaty One Territory. She is passionate about building community and connecting rural fibre farmers with urban consumers, fibre artists, and crafters. Anna believes that regenerative agriculture and climate-beneficial food and clothing are integral to moving forward as farmers fibre artists and Manitobans, and she is passionate about growing a vibrant Canadian wool industry. Her first book Sheep, Shepherd and Land, came out in 2023. And her Bestselling book The True Cost of Wool released in June 2025.
$20 per attendee.
