🐏From fleece to field, from farm to shelf,
Wool pellets are here — come see for yourself. 🐏
Wool pellets are as natural as it gets — made from 100% pure wool with no fillers and no added chemicals.
Wool naturally retains moisture. When blended into soil, the pellets help hold water close to plant roots where it is needed most. This reduces watering frequency and can lower overall water use.
As the pellets absorb water, they gently expand. This small expansion creates tiny air pockets in the soil, improving aeration and supporting stronger, healthier root systems.
Wool breaks down slowly, providing a gradual release of organic nutrients over time. With a natural NPK analysis of 9-0-2, wool pellets deliver nitrogen-rich support for steady plant growth.
Lightweight and easy to use, wool pellets are ideal for garden beds, potted plants, and even rooftop gardens.
For gardeners seeking a sustainable, high-performance soil amendment, wool pellets offer a simple, eco-conscious solution.
Using wool pellets is nearly as simple as what’s in them.
Premix ½ cup of pellets with 1 gallon of soil, place in the seed row or plant pot
Place a light layer of wool pellets around an existing plant
Work or push pellets directly into the soil
CCWG knew it wanted to produce pellets on a commercial scale to suit the volume of wool it collects but getting our own equipment operational is going to take time.
Meanwhile Wild Valley Farms in Utah, USA has been in the commercial pellet business for several years. Rather than go it alone and foster competition CCWG aimed for a work-together approach and reached out to the owner of Wild Valley Farms directly.
Several conversations and one site visit later, a collaboration was agreed upon that will help both Wild Valley Farms and CCWG grow in the marketplace and expand the good news story about wool pellets both North and South of the border. If the true aim is to see wool pellets succeed, then everyone - from sheep producer right on up to end user - wins.
To initiate our agreement with Wild Valley Farms, CCWG made a one-time purchase of a load of Wild Valley Farms wool pellets for distribution in Canada. At the same time CCWG sent a truck load (44,000 pounds) of Canadian wool to the USA for processing into wool pellets. The one-time shipment of Wild Valley Farms pellets and the made-with-Canadian-wool pellets are on the shelves of our retail stores www.ccwg.ca today.
Wild Valley Farms is family owned and have generously offered to share knowledge and assist CCWG as we navigate the commercial wool pellet business and get our own Canadian manufactured pellet equipment up and running. This type of collaboration between companies does not come along everyday.
