October marks Wool Month - a celebration of one of nature’s most remarkable and sustainable materials. This annual event, led by The Campaign for Wool, aims to raise awareness of the importance of wool in everyday life, its environmental benefits, and the livelihoods it supports across farming and craftsmanship.
At Eversfield Organic, Wool Month is especially meaningful. As an organic farm deeply connected to the land and animals we care for, wool represents more than just a material - it’s a symbol of sustainability, circularity, and respect for nature.
What Wool Month Represents
Wool Month is about recognising the incredible qualities of wool: its natural origin, renewable nature, and biodegradability. Unlike synthetic fibres derived from fossil fuels, wool is produced year after year by healthy, well-cared-for sheep. It’s a fully renewable resource that returns to the earth safely at the end of its life cycle — a perfect example of a truly sustainable material.
The campaign also highlights the people and farms behind the fibre — many of whom, like us, are working to preserve traditional practices while embracing modern sustainability standards.
Wool and Eversfield Organic
Wool plays a vital role in what we do here at Eversfield Organic. Beyond being part of our farm life, it’s also an integral part of how we deliver your orders. Every Eversfield Organic delivery box is insulated with natural wool liners, helping to keep your produce and meat perfectly chilled for up to 48 hours, alongside our reusable gel ice packs.
We choose wool for this purpose because it’s eco-friendly, renewable, and high-performing - offering exceptional insulation without relying on plastic or synthetic alternatives. Unlike polystyrene, wool is fully biodegradable and compostable, and it helps us stay true to our mission of reducing waste and embracing circular design in every part of our business.
The Benefits of Wool Beyond Packaging
One of the many wonderful things about our wool insulation is that it can be repurposed at home rather than thrown away. We love hearing how our customers reuse their wool liners - from insulating sheds, greenhouses, or cold frames, to keeping pets warm, or even as cosy padding for compost heaps or plant beds. Wool’s natural properties make it incredibly versatile - it regulates temperature, retains heat, and repels moisture, all while being completely natural and safe.
Some customers even get creative and use it in craft projects or for home insulation, giving this valuable fibre a second life.
Sustainability and Animal Welfare Hand in Hand
At Eversfield Organic, sustainability always goes hand in hand with animal welfare. The sheep that produce this wonderful fibre live naturally on pasture, contributing to healthy soil, diverse ecosystems, and regenerative farming systems. Their wool is a by-product of careful, ethical farming — proof that high standards of welfare and environmental responsibility can work together beautifully.
When you receive an Eversfield Organic delivery, that wool liner is more than packaging - it’s a story of regenerative agriculture, respect for animals, and responsible innovation.
Why Wool Matters
As we celebrate Wool Month, we’re reminded that real sustainability often comes from returning to the natural materials and traditions that have stood the test of time. Wool is one of those timeless materials - a renewable gift from nature that supports farmers, protects our planet, and, at Eversfield, keeps your food fresh the way nature intended.
By choosing organic, and by choosing businesses that embrace natural solutions, you’re helping ensure that wool - and the sustainable farming it represents - continues to thrive.
