EPISODE TWELVE :: Nadine Hulme - Adagio Mills : Crowdfunding + Starting from Scratch

Summary: In Episode Twelve of the Close Knit Podcast, I chat to Nadine Hulme of Adagio Mills If you follow me on instagram, you might remember my visit to an alpaca farm earlier this year, and that was Nadine and her husband andrew’s business, adagio mills. Nadine tells us about their journey with alpacas- how they got their own as pets, then tried to get their fibre processed locally and all the challenges they faced with that. She shares with us her experience setting up a mill, running a kickstarter to fund the scouring component and some of their plans for the future. I’m a huge fan of local, small production, and it was so thrilling to see it happening here in Australia. Keep an ear out for Adagio as they grow - they’re onto something pretty great, I think.
