Wool Pellets

From Fleece to Garden: Introducing Sustainable Wool Pellets

As sheep farmers, we know the joy and hard work that goes into producing quality wool. But at the end of each year, we're often left with fleeces that don't quite meet the grade for one reason or another. Instead of seeing this wool go to waste, we've found a sustainable and beneficial solution:

Wool for your garden!

For years, we've been passionate about finding ways to utilize all of our wool. We've always sold or processed the premium fleeces, but the remaining often presented a challenge. Our philosophy is and always has been to use everything we produce, no waste…otherwise we could not be a sustainable farm! We experimented with raw wool in our own garden – in raised beds, around trees, even as mulch (as you can see from our blueberry bush!). We knew the nutrients were there (studies have proven it!), but raw wool had its drawbacks. It could be messy, and while it suppressed some weeds, others thrived in it. We needed a better solution."

We even considered pelletizing the wool ourselves, but never quite figured out the how. So, kudos to those who cracked the code! We're now able to offer pelletized wool – the perfect solution for using our ‘less-than-perfect’ fleeces!"
