This Month on the Farm: The Harvest is Complete!

After six months of absorbing sunshine, water, nutrients, and carbon, the cotton plants return to the soil, and the harvested cotton starts its journey of becoming Christy Dawn dresses.

This season, the farm yielded an abundance of cotton. This is our sixth season offering Land Stewardship, and the Land Stewards have earned on their investment each season. We have yet to have a harvest less than our average.

Throughout this season, soil health also improved, biodiversity increased, water and nutrient cycles benefited, farmers made a consistent wage, and neighboring farmers were excited to join the collective. As a community, we have planted and nurtured seeds not only on the farm but also for a regenerative future.

Xx Christy

Nature is self-healing — regenerative farming fosters the plants and soil’s innate ability to build the health and resilience of their ecosystem. By using native seeds and holistic, indigenous farming practices, farmers can revitalize soil and draw down carbon. Regenerative farming not only heals the land’s immediate ecosystem but helps heal Mother Earth from climate change.

We chose to work with India as much as India chose to work with us. Two years ago, we started our journey towards growing regenerative cotton and immediately connected with the community at Oshadi Collective in Southern India. The synchronicity of Oshadi Collective’s expertise in light-weight cotton, natural dyes, and block prints combined with our love of flowing, effortless dresses has evolved into a beautiful collaboration.

As we’ve grown, we’ve come to realize that relationships are at the core of everything we do — relationships to people, to Mother Earth, and to ourselves. Our farm with Oshadi Collective in India, the cotton plants aren't burned and depleted, but grown in a way that nourishes the soil for future plants and provides farmers, spinners, weavers and dyers with a living wage, access to healthcare, opportunities for growth and education, and a method for preserving ancient practices and traditions. This in turn gave us healthy, regenerative cotton for this collection. What’s good for Mother Earth is good for us, too.

The farm is a collaboration between Christy Dawn and Oshadi Collective. Christy Dawn pays all farm costs — from the lease and farmers’ wages to the neem oil used as a pest repellent. Oshadi Collective has managed the farm and made sure our joint vision for a regenerative ecosystem comes to fruition. After farming, the artisans at Oshadi Collective weave, dye, and print the farm cotton, transforming it into beautiful fabric.

Of course! Our vision is to grow Farm-to-Closet over the next few years so that all our cotton comes from regenerative farms and all of our dresses are created from direct relationships with farmers and soil. We will achieve this by investing a part of the profit from every Christy Dawn dress back into the soil with the awareness that regeneration is a continuous practice. We are excited to improve and foster even more healing in the future!

It takes a community to create a Christy Dawn garment. We work intimately with our partners to ensure every member of the community is paid a fair living wage for their contribution. Reciprocal relationships are at the center of everything we do at Christy Dawn. Ones in which everyone is taken care of- that means our entire community makes at least a living wage.

We work with our partners and research region-specific studies to ensure everyone is paid fairly because a dress can only be considered beautiful if the process used to produce it preserves the integrity and beauty of the Earth and her people.
