      HD® Wool Apparel Insulation is actively supporting farmers to start the ReGenerative Agricultural process by having their land subjected to an annual Ecological Outcome Verification set forth by the Savory Institute to show progress in Land to Market objectives. The wool that is used to make HD® Wool Apparel Insulation is fully traceable back to the farm upon which it is grown, sourced via The Woolkeepers®, a bespoke quality assurance platform.

      Traceable, certified wool, paid at a fair price

      The Woolkeepers® is aligned with farming legislation and animal welfare science that looks to asses and reward producers for their farming practise, which we yield wool from.
