For The Love of Wool 

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. We’re a Hawke’s Bay-based sheep and beef farming family, who appreciate and value the benefits of wool.

Our sheep happily graze Hawke’s Bay hills year-round and provide the wool for most of our products. Because we grow the wool ourselves, we know exactly where it comes from and what goes into our products. My husband is the brains of the farming operation and without him, our flock would be very average to say the least, let alone “good”. The girls and I make some decent rousies, helpers in the yards and smoko- makers.

Everything from growing the wool, to processing the raw material, to sewing the end-product is 100% based in New Zealand. We’re especially proud of our sewing team in Central Hawke’s Bay and the Wool Processing in Napier, keeping it all as close to the source as possible.

To be able to provide a biodegradable and sustainable option for gardeners, farmers and growers that aligns with our personal values is important to us.

If we’re not on the farm, in the garden, feeding pet lambs, goats or calves, living family life or riding a pony, we like to get a good cup of coffee, enjoy some of what Hawke’s Bay has to offer, play a family game of cricket and dig into a Sunday roast.

So, Thanks, for visiting our website, seeing us at a market, referring us to a friend, making a purchase, or getting in touch. Without you, we really wouldn’t be here today.

Proudly farming Hawkes Bay

Our ewe wool is shorn on the farm, before heading to Napier to be washed. It then makes the journey to Auckland to be felted before making its way back to us inHawkes Bay.
