Maddy Bartsch (they/them) is a natural dye farmer, art educator and organizer of local textile economies. For Maddy, seeing our textile systems as intrinsically linked to sustainable agriculture is paramount to the creation of a thriving decentralized textile economy in the Midwest. Whether in their fields harvesting flowers for dyes or teaching textile arts to learners of all ages, they are grateful for the many ways their passion around textiles brings people together. They farm cooperatively at Get Bentz Farm in Northfield, Minnesota and live in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis.
