We have 4 large sacks in the shop at the moment and will probably fill one or two more tomorrow. If you'd like some please ask at the till when you come to the shop.
Containing a mix of fine dust and small chippings, these may not be suitable for use with animals. The sacks are about the same size as our old oak whiskey barrels.

Call into the shop to view and purchase or email info@owr.org.uk if you'd prefer not to visit.
