Local Fiber Market

Oct. 18-19, is the Montana Farmer's Union annual conference in Great Falls. It is at the Heritage Inn.
Last year I did a lecture and trade booth for Heifer International at this event. It was an exhilarating experience, and I met many great people.

I love the mission of the  Montana Farmer's Union as it supports smaller and working family farms. They have been doing this for 92 years and counting in myriad ways. MFU's commitment to global family farmers is carried on through their  association in the National and International Farmers Unions as well.
This year the conference is focusing on Local Food and Fiber Farming.
There will be a Local Fiber MarketPlace in the trade show with fabulous yarns, rovings felts, mattress toppers, comforters, pillows and other great fiber products!
All from local ranches and wool mills.
Everyone is invited to shop the trade show from 10-5 each day.
