Traceability

Connection to the source of our materials is a core value at Long Way Homestead. Being transparent with our customers about the process involved from sheep to yarn to waste is a priority.

We work with local Canadian farmers to ensure a high quality end product, but also to ensure the highest standards of animal welfare, land management and labour standards are being met.

We source the majority of our wool from Manitoba farms and some from outside of the Province. We transport the wool ourselves, or in partnership with sheep & wool livestock hauling trucks.

The wool is then scoured at Baintons in Ontario, or in our own mill in Ste. Genevieve. Our water comes from the Basal Winnipeg aquifer and our mill effluent water is spread out on our own sheep pastures through a septic system.
