Why Tapestry?

The meaning behind the homestead's name

Picture the natural world as represented by an embroidered tapestry hanging from the rafters. The pesticide enthusiasts are all looking at the backside of the tapestry. From that perspective thye see loose ends, stray threads & confused patterns. Their science isn't bad it's just that they can't see the logic of nature's woven fabric. They need to step around to the front side.

Anna Brown

regenerative farmer

Growing up our family moved from coast to coast & back again. Settling down & establishing roots has always been my dream
I attended University of Guelph where I studied rural development & specialized in organic agriculture
We purchased our homestead in 2017. I have been a full-time homemaker & homesteader since 2019 & a mom since 2020
I love knitting, craft beer, good food & bad puns (is there such a thing as a good pun?)
