Working with the Farming Community

The Lost Sheep Company, work very closely with the local farming community, paying good prices for local fleece. I help put more value on British wool products by addressing and campaigning on issues that matter to our shepherds.

The Farmers Union of Wales recently described me as an Ambassador for local farmers , which is a great compliment and something I have become very passionate about.

The low prices paid for wool and the lack of knowledge as to where and how it can be sold really concerns me. The frustration farmers feel when talking about this reveals how confusing their journey is and how there is need for more clarity. They are often unaware of the potential and quality, and use , of their fleece. That’s why I want to do what I can to help join the dots.

I hope that this section can eventually contain some answers to your questions and link you to useful resources. Please email me if you have any questions, feedback or would like help selling your fleece.

Wool is wonderful!
