Education

We grow the wool on our farm and process it into gorgeous garments, but thats not where the story ends. As our focus on sustainability and understanding the impact of cheap fast fashion can have on the environment we wanted to highlight and help educate the next generation to understand where their clothes come from and how buying wool is good for the environment.

Where does my jumper come from? Is answered in our new children's book "Tildie and Tom's Woolly Adventure" as Tildie and Tom visit their Pa on Aminya Farms and learn how the wool goes from being in the paddock to in their jumpers and beanies.

Written in a fun child friendly way with gorgeous illustrations, Tildie and Tom's Woolly Adventure promotes sustainability and the glorious fibre of wool. We have a number of options available to help guide you through using the book as a way to promote the conversation about sustainability in fashion.
