Hi! This blog is written by me, Casey. I’m half of the duo that owns and operates Cedar Dell Forest Farm, just outside of Portland, OR. I’m an environmental educator, natural dyer and ecoprinter and an all-around nature-lover and fiber fanatic. We raise fiber animals, teach kids’ nature programs, natural dye workshops and have lots of fun in the forest. You can learn more about my family and me here.
