Of the judging process Vesper writes,

Judges look for rural businesses that can have the greatest positive impact in their communities and beyond. They also want to make sure the business has the right team in place to be successful.

With the introduction of wool pellets onto the gardening scene last year, Wild Valley Farms has the gardening and flower world all a buzz and have placed themselves firmly into the marketplace.  
Keep a lookout for the Wild Valley Farms wool pellets at a garden center near you or order from our online store.
