Hey ya’ll!
We believe in true Southern hospitality. Our organization is open and affirming to all: fiber enthusiasts, artists, farmers, manufacturers, dyers, designers and more may find a home within the Greater Cumberland Fibershed.
We welcome anyone passionate about local and domestic fiber and fiber product creation and invite you to get educated and fully involved in your local supply chain through events, local and regional meet-ups and more.
Our Region & Mission
-
The Greater Cumberland Region
We’ve chosen to combine the states of Kentucky and Tennessee into one region: The Greater Cumberland Fibershed. The Cumberland Plateau and River span both states and represents the pioneering spirit of our region: full of innovation, passion, and creativity.
-
Fibershed Affiliation
Fibershed is a larger non-profit organization that develops regional fiber systems that build ecosystem and community health. Fibershed affiliation helps us expand our network and support larger movements towards climate beneficial agriculture, regional manufacturing and more.
-
A 501 c 5 Agricultural Non-Profit
We’re working on registering our Fibershed as a 501 c 5 non-profit: giving it recognition in both Kentucky and Tennessee as a non-profit that is engaged in the pursuits of labor, agriculture, horticulture, product improvement and a higher profile for fiber farm products and adjacent textile products.
