Wild Valley Farms Story The Wild Valley Farms Story started over 150 years ago when our ancestors came to the U.S. following their religion to the mountains of Utah. They settled in the small town of Croydon Utah, buying ground from a friend they started a farm raising chickens, a few cows and a few sheep. Over the years the family grew and so did the ranching operation, many family members had to leave the farm and ranch to try and make a living for their families. The chicken farm turned into more of a sheep and cattle ranch.

Today we run over 200 head of cattle and 2,600 head of sheep, the ranch is run by a father and two sons. In 2013 M.R. Wilde and Sons partnered with Woodscape of Utah a manufacturer of landscape products in Salt Lake City to create a premium compost for sell through Woodscape of Utah. As this venture expanded M.R. Wilde and Sons had to contact other farmers and ranchers to pick up their manures. The Wilde's seeing the need of using all natural products for gardens, lawns, and flower beds, created more products to sell through Woodscape and this lead to the creation of Wild Valley Farms in 2015. Allowing all natural farm products to be delivered to consumers who care about where their gardening supplies come from.
One of our innovative products are wool pellets. Our Story of creating Wool Pellets: For generations we have raised sheep and cows on our family farm here in Utah. Our cows help us to make steer manure and compost. We wanted to see if our sheep could help gardens too! We tried pelletizing some of our sheep’s wool initially because we had found research which showed wool repelled snails. After more research and testing we found that wool is extremely high in Nitrogen and takes months to break down. This makes it a perfect all-natural fertilizer! Wool also naturally absorbs water – about 20x its weight – so with it you can water less! As wool soaks in water, it fluffs up and expands. This creates more porosity (oxygen) in the soil. This gives space for your roots to grow bigger and stronger. The nutrition in the wool helps to grow strong, healthy, beautiful plants that need no other fertilizer!
Wild Valley Farms is a family owned farm and ranch and is committed to helping the farming and ranching families to be successful and profitable. We hope every person can become educated about farming and ranching and recognize the contributions of American farming!
