Who We Are
We’re Mary & Emma, the mother/daughter creative team behind Lady Farmer and contributing writers to The ALMANAC. We began this journey together in 2016 with some sketches and a dream to create a fully sustainable line of clothing that was just as beautiful and functional as it was good for the planet and the people that made it and wore it. While we don’t manufacture clothing anymore, we’re still exploring all of the beautiful parts of the big broken systems we all play a part in every day and we love breaking them down for you—our readers, listeners, and friends.
