@out_inthefield aims to connect diners to the origins of their food while celebrating the hardworking hands that feed us. @jimdenevan began this endeavor in 1999 and today his culinary caravan has reached all fifty U.S. states and fifteen countries around the globe; the roving restaurant without walls is rebuilt every morning and disappears every night. At last nights dinner on Sauvie Island, just outside of Portland, OR diners also got to experience indigo and flax/linen growing in the fields, enriching the conversation and experience about how our food and fiber systems connect on the same landscape. Thank you all for inviting us for such a lovely experience! #fibershed #oregon #regenerativeagriculture #food #fiber #linen #fibrevolution_pnw #indigo #vibrantvalleyfarm

Last Fall while attending the @linenaliveni we had the pleasure of viewing the Linen Fashion Showcase, introduced by Caryn Franklin @franklinonfashion A truly inspiring woman who has empowered so many through her decades of work in the fashion industry. Caryn recently sat down with @safia_minney on the Ethical Agenda Podcast for an enlightening conversation on gender equality, body and image diversity and her life’s work in the fashion industry. We highly recommend a listen✨Find link to podcast @safia_minney #slowfashion #equality #diversity #gobeyondfashion #safiaminney #carynfranklin #ethicalagendapodcast

We always love visiting Joy and Martin Dally’s farm!!! @nelekapparel and @shannon_m_welsh exploring long wool breeds such as Gotland and Teeswater, while learning how to shear sheep’s wool too. The Dally’s do offer tours - connect with @shepherdslane for more information. #wool #oregon #oregongrown #fiber #textiles #teeswater #gotland #valaisblacknosesheep #sheep #shepherd #fibershed

Hand Scutching Irish Linen with Eugene and Felix McConville in Dromore, County Down, Northern Ireland. A very familiar process for us, as hand scutching long line linen is the only option we have back home in North America currently... #americanlinenrevival #loveoflinen #flaxislinen #linen #scutching #flax #irishlinen #ireland #fiber #textiles #mill @fibrevolution_pnw
