Flannel Roots is an LGBTQIA+ owned regenerative agricultural business that was founded in 2021, rooted in a deep commitment to sustainability and community education. The founders, Brittany and Jill, bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, each contributing unique skills that enhance their mission.

• Brittany: A certified permaculture designer (2021 Midwest Permaculture) with an Associate of Science in Design (2011 AiP), Brittany is also a lifetime and international artist. She specializes in creating foraged watercolors using local pigments sourced from the Mon Valley, blending art and agriculture in a meaningful way.
• Jill: With over a decade of experience as an organic regenerative grower and farm caretaker, Jill has honed her skills in livestock feeding and management. Her hands-on approach ensures the health and sustainability of the farm's operations.

Both Brittany and Jill are certified by Mushroom Mountain and hold qualifications in Edible Mushroom Safety Identification, allowing them to safely forage and sell mushrooms. Their main passion lies in exploring the permaculture uses of fungi within ecosystems, and they actively engage in educational pop-ups and workshops.

Through these initiatives, Flannel Roots aims to share the vast connections between fungi and sustainable food systems, fostering a community that appreciates and understands the importance of regenerative practices. Their inclusive educational approach ensures that everyone can participate in and benefit from the knowledge they impart, making Flannel Roots a vibrant hub for innovation and sustainability in agriculture.
