Grazing in the Good
Shepherd pasture at
Rocky Mountain House, Alberta

We started out
raising sheep and wanted to do something different with our
wool. We heard how wool insulation was catching on in Europe
and Japan, and realized there was a need for a natural and
healthy insulation alternative here in North America too.
Wool,
however, cannot be used in its natural |
|
state or the new home owner will have the
greatest moth collection you could imagine! So in the
production process, our wool insulation is treated with Boron to
repel mice, moths, mildew and insects.
| Boron is considered to be an
important mineral to bone health. In areas with
boron deficient soils, boron is added to
fertilizers to promote plant growth. | | |
