Witnessing the February Shear at Palliser Ridge.

In early January I traveled to Pirinoa, in the Wairarapa, to visit our farm partner Palliser Ridge for one of their twice-yearly shears. It is fundamental for me to meet everyone that works along the value chain, especially at a farm level. I want to take away the anonymity that accompanies so many wool brokering transactions and make it personal again between farmer and designer.
