Sustainable Sourcing

We love to support New Zealand made products. This reduces our carbon footprint, and is a vote for what kind of world we want to live in. Our wool products are not only durable and high-quality but also reflect our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. We believe that sustainable shopping choices contribute to a healthier planet. By promoting natural fibers and New Zealand made products, we aim to foster a more sustainable future for generations to come. In our retail shop, we sell Possum Merino Clothing Brands including Koru, Native World, Lothlorian all made in New Zealand. We also stock New Zealand Made Sheepskins, Sheep Milk Soap, Skincare and Slippers. Where possible in our cafe and retail store we source goods from local suppliers. The honey we use in cafe and sell in store is made from Bees on the farm. We also help our local supermarket to reduce waste by feeding their food scraps to the animals on our farm.
