Taking the Long Way to Change: Anna Hunter on Farming, Activism, and Hope

Anna Hunter has long been someone I hold deep respect for. She is an authour, farmer, mother, spouse, and community activist. Based in Manitoba, Anna and her family are knitting an inspiring and challenging story. Their farm, Long Way Homestead serves not only as a farm but as a platform for education and change. Through her personal journey from climate activist to a first-generation sheep farmer, Anna connects us with the origins of wool. She addresses crucial topics such as economics, climate change, and colonization, using her farm and writing to engage a wider audience. By drawing parallels between textiles and environmental sustainability, she inspires a reevaluation of our consumption habits, advocating for wool as a key player in building a more regenerative future.
