Chloe grew up on Great Gargus, a pasture-based livestock farm in Cornwall. Despite her early connection to agriculture, challenging business conditions led her to look for opportunities outside of the farming sector.
Inspired by the developing momentum for agroecological food and fibre systems, two decades later, Chloe is on an adventure reconnecting with both her parents farm and the wider community by processing wool. Fleeces are primarily sourced from the Great Gargus flock which has been developed on the farm since the early 80s.
Products are available in the Tregony area of Cornwall or in Bath with the hope that this will expand gently.
Chloe’s profession is as an energy analyst. She also has experience in the academic funding sector and trained in geosciences.
We are starting the conversation about how the South West can produce more home-grown textiles and garments in a more healthy, resilient and regenerative textile ecosystem.
