All your wool has value and with the availability of the Atlantic Wool Growers Wool Depot, producers can deliver their wool prior to the shipping day and not have it clutter the barn. Atlantic Wool Growers will also accept wool at the Atlantic Stock Yards on Thursdays. Cathy would prefer that larger lots of wool be delivered to the farm ion Princeport. Please call 902-895-4039 to make delivery arrangements.
Do not pack your wool in garbage bags, in clean breathable sacks and do not contaminate it with plastic or bailer twine. Wool bags are available from Atlantic Wool Growers.
