OUR PASSION FOR SHEEP WELFARE AND ETHICAL WOOL PRODUCTION
At New Mills Farm, we are passionate about sheep welfare and ethical wool production. As a family business, we focus on the welfare of our animals and use their wool to create beautiful, handmade British wool products. Our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices remains at the core of everything we do.
We take pride in our products and ensure that they are of the highest quality. Our range includes blankets, throws, cushions, and more, all made from our own wool. We believe in supporting local communities and the environment, which is why we use only natural materials and traditional techniques to create our products.

Life On the farm
Welcome to New Mills Farm, where we create ethical wool products sourced from our farm and the West Country. As an environment-focused business, we are dedicated to sustainability, biodiversity, and promoting a healthy ecosystem. Our wool products are made using only the very best ethical practices and are environmentally friendly. Whether you need wool products for personal use or commercial endeavours, we are here to supply you with premium-quality wool that is good for you and the planet.
​
We have over 50 species of birds seen on or flying above the farm. A survey on the farm in May 2018 recorded around 11 bat species.​ A 2019 Environment Agency survey on a small stretch of river on the farm recorded trout, lamprey, eel and bullhead. Salmon are also seen.​ Slowworms, newts, frogs and toads are also to be found under anything left lying outside for any time. Below are some images taken on our farm of all these wonderful creatures and nature.
