dìèdìè farm and mill: slow bioregional textiles 

raw harvest + educulture + local production + material poeisis

dìẹ̀dìẹ̀ is slow, healing, earth work. we are a community-scale textile farm and micro mill incubating our vision of bioregional textiles on collectively owned BIPoC land in the Central Piedmont region of North Carolina. we provide low-carbon, raw, and processed plant-based fiber and dye materials to the Piedmont bioregion and beyond. dìẹ̀dìẹ̀ carries the meaning of “slow,” “gradual,” “little by little” in Yorùbá—our Native people. it describes the general attitude guiding this work.
