HISTORY
In February 2017, Grow Benzie partnered with Crosshatch Center for Art & Ecology for a potluck discussion and film viewing of "True Cost" – a documentary about the real price of fast fashion. From that community meeting of 30+ people, coordinator Emily Votruba decided to take the theoretical concept of a fiber shed (similar to the function of a watershed and credited to Carol Laughing-Waters in Leelanau County) and turn the extra space in Grow Benzie's pole barn into an actual fiber shed.
