REVITALIZING OUR HERITAGE AND ECONOMY

From Field to Fashion

At Acadian Brown Cotton, we’re reviving a centuries-old tradition in the heart of Acadiana. By preserving heirloom Acadian Brown Cotton seeds and promoting regenerative agriculture, we’re working to create a traceable and sustainable textile supply chain with local farmers that benefits both our economy and the environment.
