To celebrate Sustainable Fashion Week we are hosting a farm tour to connect fashion stakeholders - everyone who wears, buys, designs or makes clothes - to how rooted in soil a healthy fashion system should be.
This event offers a unique opportunity to get inquisitive about where clothes really come from, how natural fibres are grown, how dyes are created, and to see real life examples of doing things differently within the UK.
By connecting with the soil, you will gain a new perspective of what true circularity looks like, particularly in the face of an ever shifting climate and demand for new cradle-to-cradle models around fashion design.
We will start the day in our new farm classroom with a short presentation that looks at the benefits for both people and planet of designing clothing made with the health of the soil and nature recovery at its heart.
We will then have a tour around the botanical dye garden, our incredible new micro-scale veg tannery soon to be producing leather and finish with a farm walk. On the walk around the farm you will be able to explore our organic, regenerative farming system, our journey to improve diversity in our pastures, a pond restoration project, see our new wild bee hive in action and our agroforestry scheme.
Join us on Sunday 21st Sep from 11:00am to 3pm, to make a deeper connection between clothing and the land.
