Food and Fiber US supports our local and sustainable agriculture industries by sharing singular experiences and behind-the-scenes stories of fiber and food production, from micro-farms to international brands.
Food and Fiber US offers several ways for our community to experience local and sustainable agriculture. Feel free to explore our social media content, dive into the long-form blog that examines past and present events, or binge our podcast, in which we interview agricultural producers who are changing the way we feed and clothe ourselves.
There are many reasons to learn about where our food and textiles come from and why our purchasing choices matter.
Whether you'd like to learn about sustainable agriculture or meet the people who make textiles and produce food for our global community, we're glad you’re here.
This is a personal mission. It started with the closure of Sarah's great-grandfather's textile mills, when cheaply made, synthetic, imported textiles overwhelmed the American textile industry. America has a place in the future of the global textile and agriculture industries, just as textiles and agriculture played vital roles in American history. Food and Fiber US exists to share knowledge about the agriculture behind sustainable American products, past, present, and future.
Our nation's deep history of independence and innovation leadership is showing the way to a better future through a return to sustainable, local textile and agriculture industries. Food and Fiber US actively engages with local organizations and initiatives to support agriculture education and promote local food systems.
When you visit our channels or purchase from our shop, you're supporting our mission of sharing the stories of our farmers and sustainable handicrafts and pastimes. Together, we can cultivate a stronger community. Thank you for being part of American agriculture's regional and sustainable movement.
I am an educator and hand spinner with a deep passion for agriculture and sustainability. With a master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications from Texas A&M University at College Station, I have spent over 15 years honing my skills, developing my knowledge, and exploring the intricacies of local textile and food production.
I'm one of the youngest hand spinners I've met, and this project is one way I'm sharing the ancient and sacred craft of hand spinning with the next generation.
I believe in the power of soil and handcrafts as ways to heal and grow as a person and in our community. I strive to incorporate this gratitude for our planet into my personal and professional life. If I’m not working in this space, I spend my time as a mom and wife.
I'm always eager to learn and grow as a human being, and I love discovering and sharing the ways we’re all connected. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or collaborate!
We love to hear from you about what you're making, growing, buying, and most of all, how you're doing. Email us and we will get back to you soon.
