Our Farm
We are a family farm raising sheep for fibre and meat. We also operate a wool pellet mill, sourcing raw wool from local farms to create a premium soil amendment.
We began sheep farming in the summer of 2022 with a handful of Icelandic sheep. In time, we added several Blue Faced Leicester ewes, chosen for their fine, lustrous fleece, steady mothering, and distinct character.
Each breed has its strengths, but the BFL × Icelandic lambs born the following spring stood out. They grew well, carrying a slightly longer frame than the pure Icelandics and while producing soft, silky fleeces. We kept a few of these ewe lambs to strengthen and shape the future of our flock.
After shearing, we found that not all of the wool was fit for fibre work. Rather than discard it, we put the excess to use in the garden. The soil improved. We looked into the matter further, learned more about how wool could be used effectively and efficiently to build soil. As a result of that research we built our own wool pellet mill.
Our aim is simple: to serve our community and sheep farmers across BC by turning waste wool into practical, environmentally sound pellets, while continuing to raise nutrient-dense, grass-fed lamb and quality fleece for fibre enthusiasts.
Why wool pellet processing?
There are roughly 300 sheep farms in the Fraser Valley, producing an abundance of wool each year. Much of it cannot be used for textiles and is often discarded or burned.
After seeing strong results from using our own lower-grade fleeces in the garden, we recognized the potential in this overlooked resource. When the opportunity arose to purchase a wool pellet mill, we took it.
Wool pellets offer gardeners and the horticulture industry a high-quality, natural soil amendment. At the same time, they give sheep farmers a practical way to turn waste wool into something useful rather than throwing it away.
Our wool is sourced entirely within British Columbia, which reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation. We purchase wool at fair value and process it into pellets for use as a natural, renewable soil amendment.
This allows local farmers to make better use of their wool clip, creating less waste and strengthening the local economy. If you are a farmer who could benefit from this opportunity, we encourage you to connect with us.
