The joy of Christmas is alive; Start your plantation with our Christmas tree seedlings

Limited time only and with perfect conditions for planting.

Christmas Tree seedlings are now sold out; ONLY tube stock is left.

Some of you may know we have been planting, growing, and selling Christmas trees for the past few years. We grow beautiful Radiata pine trees specifically bred for Christmas trees due to their high branching, fast growth, and shorter needles.

We have Radiata pine TUBE STOCK ready to plant, averaging 40cm tall. They are perfect for starting your own Christmas tree plantation. We are selling them in boxes of 20 until they are sold out. If you are interested in starting your plantation, please contact Daniela. Serious enquiries only. 

More Info

These Christmas tree cultivars, Radiata Pine, tend to remain more bushy. They also require less pruning and maintenance to achieve the desired shape.

What you need to do:

+Map out your planting location for your tube stock. Space per tree is 3-4 metres. Tip: ensure your vehicle can drive around the plantation perimeter and between the row of trees. 

+ Plant directly into the field or pot up upon arrival. 140mm pots are ideal for these seedlings to thrive for up to one year.

+ Plant directly in the paddock in cool conditions, or pot up and grow for a year to get your trees ahead of the weeds and give them time to adapt to your climate.

+ Avoid fertilising in the first few months after planting, as this can burn seedlings. 

+ Radiata pines are very vigorous growers and, once established, will need little watering or fertiliser. 

+ Keep weeds down around the tree for at least the first year and water in well after planting until established. 

+ Pines like gentle slopes or hilly terrain with good drainage, and I hate wet feet. Avoid boggy or very clayey soils in landscape depressions or drainage lines. 

+ They thrive on acidic soils and will tolerate lightly alkaline soil. Trees are frost tolerant down to -10’C and will tolerate hot conditions provided they do not dry out. 

+ Trees will need regular pruning to maintain a dense Christmas tree shape, as they grow very fast.

Which Duvet weight is right for me?

Duvets use ‘Grams Per Square Metre’ or gsm to indicate the product’s relative warmth. It refers to the weight of the quilt filling. So, the higher the gsm of filling, the warmer it is.

• 200 gsm is good for Summer (roughly equivalent to 1-2 blankets)

• 300 gsm is good for both Autumn and Spring (roughly equivalent to 2-3 blankets)

• 500 gsm is good for Winter (roughly equivalent to 3-4 blankets)

The best Duvets are filled with Alpaca Fleece - the Warmest and Softest bedding for any Climate

Blog Introduction: Are you looking for a new duvet? Do you want something that is soft, warm, and perfect for pretty much any climate? If so, you should consider investing in a duvet filled with alpaca fleece, the ultimate natural fibre for comfortable bedding.

Alpacas are domesticated animal that is part of the camelid family. Alpacas are native to South America and were first domesticated by the Inca civilization over 6,000 years ago. There are two types of alpacas - the Huacaya and the Suri. The vast majority of alpacas in the world are Huacaya, and these beautiful animals have amazing fleece perfect for duvets and bedding.

Alpacas are bred for their fibre which is extremely soft, warm, and durable. In fact, alpaca fibre is often compared to cashmere. Alpaca fiber comes in over 20 different natural colours including white, fawn, brown, black, and grey.

Alpaca fleece is the perfect filling for duvets because it is soft, warm, and lightweight. It is also hypoallergenic which makes it a great option for people who suffer from allergies or asthma.

Alpaca fleece is a sustainable resource since it can be shorn from the animals, right here on the farm, without harming them. Alpacas are very gentle on the land due to their soft feet. Their fleece does not contain lanolin so it does not need to be treated with harsh chemicals like other types of wool.

If you are looking for a new duvet, I highly recommend considering one filled with alpaca fleece. It is the warmest, softest, and most sustainable option available. You will love snuggling up under your new duvet on cold winter nights!

If you are in the market for a new duvet, be sure to look into alpaca fleece as an option. Alpaca fleece is soft, warm, and perfect for any climate. It is also hypoallergenic and sustainable - making it the perfect choice for anyone looking for a new duvet!

I love Suki and all of the girls; they are my life. We spin their fleece into amazing wintertime jumpers that keep me warm every season!

Suki's personality is quite an original. She is quirky, inquisitive, and the first one to push the other girls out of the way so she can eat out of your hand. You can hear her saying nom, nom, nom whilst happily chewing away. She has lovely dense, soft fleece and has passed on her lovely fleece to her offspring.

She is also a snake bite survivor, and we are lucky to have her and her cria, Oberon, with us today.

How blessed we are to be able to hand spin the fleece, knit it and wear the garments that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Suki, our quirky alpaca.

The many funny faces of Suki above.

For a limited time only, you can purchase Suki’s yarn online from our shop cart.

We are selling the yarn in 2, 4 or 6 yarn balls in our kraft Gift Case.

These photos were taken on my iPhone today and I have tried to capture its natural colour. They also come in this handy kraft gift box. 8 PLY approx 75-80 g each yarn ball. Get it now before they disappear and you have to wait until we shear and spin again. It’s all handspun so expect rustic and many variations.

Alpaca Fleece For Sale - Little Valley Farm

We have just completed our shearing for Spring 2021, and now our alpacas are ready and relaxed for the hot Summer days ahead. Freshly shorn and out of the sun, they enjoy the shade of the old Liquid Amber trees.

Biscuit and Flirty pictured here.

I will be spending the week sorting out which fleece we should spin and felt for our Summer 2022 projects. So far, we have counted 40+ saddles to work with and more for me to clean and sort out.

So if you love spinning or felting alpaca fleece, we have a range of white, fawn and brown fleece for your home projects. We have mostly Huacaya and some long fawn Suri fleece available.

Our alpaca fleece sale will start early November, and we will have saddles ready for spinning from $10, $15, $20 and $30. Our saddles have been partly skirted, (we have removed the neck and leg fleece). But, of course, there will always be some vegetation matter and dirt as they love to roll in the ground just before shearing.

Huacaya or Suri fleece?

Alpaca garments are often sought after for their softness and warmth. The two types of alpacas, Suri and Huacaya, offer different qualities in wool that can be used to create unique pieces of clothing. Learn more about the difference between these animals, so you know which type is best suited to your needs!

Roma Tomatoes by Little Valley Farm

Our Roma Tomato’s have arrived at Little Valley Farm. We have been growing these beauties for over five years and our customers love them. See what our customers are saying about our seasonal chemical-free Roma’s.

Its not easy growing produce right now due to the super dry-season in the Hunter Valley. We are constantly pumping water to care of our tomatoes. Our over 40+ degree days are a bit tough especially when its 3-4 days of non-stop scorching heat and then the hot wind blowing. I am cursing the weather constantly. Luckily, we had a sunflower ‘trick’ that helped shade some of our plants and are pleasantly growing acid free Roma’s right now. Our seasonal tomatoes will be available until March and then we start to prep the soil for our Turban Purple garlic.

Its time to make my passata. See you soon.
