FEBRUARY: Fiber Farming For Resilience & Success with Anna Hunter, Founder of Longway Homestead

Email amy@senefibershed.org if interested in purchasing the recording for $10

What does it take to be a resilient fiber farmer in 2025? Anna Hunter of the Pembina Fibershed and Longway Homestead runs a family owned and operated fiber farm and wool mill in Eastern Manitoba, Treaty One Territory, Canada.

From creating a field school to a residency program, running a wool pelletizing mill to education and advocacy, Anna understands all too well that putting all your expensive eggs into one basket is to flirt with danger as a farmer and a business owner.

Come join us for a virtual presentation and Q&A on Zoom, February 20th, 12pm-1:30pm and listen to Anna’s origin story as well as what’s working in the world of wool and entrepreneurship.
