AFT x COSAP Co-op: Recycled Cotton Long Sleeve Tee

A limited edition t-shirt from COSAP Co-op in collaboration with American Farmland Trust. This tee is made from 100% recycled cotton and celebrates the work AFT is doing to create a better food system. 

Don't Lose Your Hope

Wear a shirt designed by a farmer for farmers. This collection was born in New York State, where monarchs migrate and greenhouses help farms extend their season into autumn. Our farmer designer Leigha Morris, farmer of Odd Crop Farm in New York State created this from her experience protecting biodiversity like the butterfly on the shirt. The American Farmland Trust is supporting farmers across New York to do exactly that, protect biodiversity, connect communities, and preserve farmland. As we look to the future, the work that AFT represents, and what COSAP Co-op is hoping to convey to the larger public seeking a better food system is to first and foremost “Don’t lose your hope”.  Once we have hope, we must act through supporting farms like Odd Crop Farm and the farmers that AFT will help connect with land and resources through their Farmland for a New Generation New York program, which this collection supports.

“I think the preservation of small farms, food justice work, and so on is about hope. We all go through so many elements, setbacks, frustrations, and more each season to start again in March with quite a bit of hope.” - Farmer-Artist, Leigha Morris
