Join outdoor enthusiast, Joseph Jude Brien for a leisurely walk around Local Farm to learn about a unique use for common “weeds” – fiber production. Learn how to identify, harvest and process plants which have been traditionally used to make cordage, rope and woven fabric. Participants will hand-process bast fiber from a dried plant stalk and make a cordage sample to take home. (Pictured to the right: Dogbane Cordage) Bring a dish to share for a potluck lunch.
