The Farm to Fashion project produced in 2019 showcases the regional production of products using locally grown fibre materials. Each Farm-Raised Fashion piece has a story that connects land and labour in the creation of unique Ontario garments and textiles. Each stage of the product was captured; from the farmer raising a heritage breed of sheep, processing the fibre at local mills and finally knitting or weaving the final pieces.
