The Ozark Fibershed serves the farmers, makers, and textile lovers of the Ozark Mountains.
What is Ozark Fibershed?
Ozark Fibershed is an affiliate of Fibershed, a non-profit organization that develops regional fiber systems that build ecosystem and community health. The Fibershed community envisions the emergence of an international system of regional textile communities that enliven connection and ownership of ‘soil-to-soil’ textile processes. These diverse textile cultures are designed to build soil carbon stocks on the working landscapes on which they depend, while directly enhancing the strength of regional economies. Both fiber and food systems now face a drastically changing climate, and must utilize the best of time-honored knowledge and available science for their long-term ability to thrive.
Directory for Connecting
Over the years, we’ve learned that there’s a whole lot of fiber folks practicing a wide variety of crafts in the Ozarks! However, it isn’t always easy to find your people. With this in mind, we’ve created the Ozark Fibershed Directory to help connect the many people, groups, and organizations in our fiber landscape.
Calendar for Staying Involved
If you’re new around here, you may be wondering where the fiber folks get together. If you’ve been here for a while, you may be wondering if there’s ever not something fiber related going on. The Ozark Fibershed Calendar is intended to help keep track of the many fiber events in and around our region.
