On a sunny Saturday in February, under a blue sky and fruit trees dotted with ripe oranges, the Southern California Fibershed community gathered at a grassroots farm called Eden Forest Collective in Fillmore California. Our small group of regenerative agriculture practitioners, sustainability professionals, designers, and artisans were there to see Eden Forest’s syntropic agriculture experiment and talk about cotton farming in California.
