Our Guest

Albert is a sixth generation sheep rancher, entrepreneur, and father of seven boys. He is pioneering a new market for US wool, focusing on the use of wool pellets as a fertilizer and water holding soil amendment.

Albert started by making compost on the side as a little extra income for the farm. This led to making wool pellets and trialing them with a local greenhouse. Then in 2017, Wild Valley Farms won the Utah “Green Business Award for Innovation” and in 2018 Wild Valley Farms was chosen as a finalist out of 535 entries in the “American Farm Bureau Rural Entrepreneurship Challenge”.

Since then, Albert has worked with numerous universities around the world demonstrating the benefits of wool pellets. Wild Valley Farms has expanded the market through distributors, online, and in stores establishing a new innovative product for gardeners and farmers.
