Join us by the flax field July 13th to learn about the many challenges we’re overcoming to reimagine the flax for linen industry in Pennsylvania.
Due to unforeseen logistics challenges, the arrival of our Grubber (mechanized harvesting equipment necessary for harvesting fiber flax at scale) has been delayed. See first hand why it’s such a crucial piece infrastructure needed as you learn about hand harvest and an overview of retting and post harvest handling. Learn how flax fits into rotations and about PA Flax Project’s cooperative business model.
This event will take place in both Spanish and English with simultaneous interpretation. Spanish-only, English-only, and bilingual speakers are all invited to attend this workshop.
This event is rain or shine.
