32 Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce www.greatfallschamber.org F E AT U R E D Q & A Photo by Photo Solutions THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER FIBERS What type of company is The Farmer's Daughter Fibers? At Farmer's Daughter Fibers, we create hand-dyed yarns for knitters, crocheters, makers, and other fiber artists. Our yarn is inspired by our Blackfeet culture and Montana roots. We also have a brick and mortar with lots of making supplies including our yarn. It is a true crafter's paradise. What are the company values? Goals? Community is really the heart and soul of Farmer's Daughter Fibers. Creating a community for makers here in Great Falls and worldwide was our biggest goal when we started. As we became more successful and gained a platform on social media, we started an initiative to raise money for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. This developed into a 501(c)3 called Sisters United. Sisters United's purpose is to fund programs promoting healing of indigenous women, children, and families. How long have you lived in Great Falls? We have lived in Great Falls since 2012. Before that I grew up on a ranch in between Browning and Cut Bank, went to part of elementary school, middle school, and high school in Whitefish and graduated from Big Sky High School in Missoula. What brought you to or why did you choose Great Falls? The Air National Guard brought my husband and us to Great Falls. He left the Guard in 2018 to join us full time at Farmer's Daughter Fibers, and we choose to stay in Great Falls because of the community and affordability. Photo by Photo Solutions
