High Hog Farm (the Cameron Family) are first generation farmers, stewarding the land and cultivating community. They grow together to make sure the food and fiber they produce is healthy and fresh.
This grant supports Installation and labor costs associated with wool scouring and processing facilities to develop a line of ethically produced fibers and dyes for the local community and beyond.
"2009 unofficially marked the start of our accidental path into farming and our farm has never been business as usual. As friends, neighbors, colleagues, and clients alike became increasingly supportive of our stories from the farm, they began to share their own unique food-farm stories and histories, as well as their time, and energies in support of what we had begun. We quickly became engaged in a restorative-healing approach to land and food — one that honors the interconnectedness of us all. We officially started cultivating the land in 2014, regenerating the soil. We became students of permaculture, agroecology, and indigenous practices, incorporating ancestral knowledge and traditional wisdom into our lives, throughout soil, field, kitchen, and pantry. We soon began offering cultural, educational, and restorative experiences, in the form of tours, stays, workshops, classes, and other events. Today, our programs are designed to help individuals and families experience for the first time or reconnect with the land, and practice land-based skills while providing a space for healing and transformation and strengthening relationships with others."
