For years, we've tried to find a way to re-use the feed sacks that seem to pile up around any livestock enterprise. After a farmer's market customer showed me a shopping bag made from a wheat sack in Africa, we hit on the idea of Barnyard Bags - shopping bags made from feed sacks. Since I'm not much of a seamster (I guess that's the masculine version of seamstress), Sami has been designing and making these great bags!

ReplyDeleteCool idea! I wish that I'd thought of it first...although I don't have many feed sacks. Maybe there is a reason to start feeding grain or to search out other feed manufacturers!
