We believe in true Southern hospitality. Our organization is open and affirming to all: fiber enthusiasts, artists, farmers, manufacturers, dyers, designers and more may find a home within the Greater Cumberland Fibershed. We welcome anyone passionate about local and domestic fiber and fiber product creation and invite you to get educated and fully involved in your local supply chain through events, local and regional meet-ups and more.

About our Network

The Greater Cumberland Region

We’ve chosen to combine the states of Kentucky and Tennessee into one region: The Greater Cumberland Fibershed. The Cumberland Plateau and River span both states and represents the pioneering spirit of our region: full of innovation, passion, and creativity.

Fibershed Affiliation

Fibershed is a larger non-profit organization that develops regional fiber systems that build ecosystem and community health. Fibershed affiliation helps us expand our network and support larger movements towards climate beneficial agriculture, regional manufacturing and more.

Pursuing a Non-Profit Status

We’re working on registering our Fibershed as a 501 c 3 non-profit: giving it recognition in both Kentucky and Tennessee and allowing us to receive donations, pursue funding from state and federal resources and contribute to projects that will benefit our region and the larger Fibershed network.
