Welcome to Southern California Fibershed
building regenerative textile economies
The Southern California Fibershed encompasses most of the region south of San Luis Obispo to San Diego, specifically the counties of Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura.*
We are a community of artisans and activists, ranchers, farmers and makers. We promote soil-to-soil fiber literacy, celebrate craftsmanship, and support civic engagement and local economies. So Cal Fibershed seeks to build and sustain a thriving textile culture that champions principles of ecological balance, regional organic agriculture, and individual well-being.
For Riverside and San Bernardino counties, please see the Inland Empire Fibershed.
