THE PEA STRAW MAN

Located in the small farming community of Kukerin in the southern wheatbelt, approximately 260kms East of Bunbury and 300kms South East of Armadale. We have been in the business of providing small square bales of pea straw for garden mulch since 2009. We sell over 20,000 bales per year mostly to retail outlets, plus we do private deliveries in the South West and we are monthly at the Boyanup Farmers Market and annually at the Nannup market... We are a small business consisting of Mick (the pea straw man) and Alex (the pea straw wife). Mick does all the labour, production and delivery. Alex is the administration lady, cook and cleaner... We are not farmers ourselves. We work with local farmers who grow peas as part of their cropping program. Farmers who grow peas do so as a rotational crop to improve their soil as peas are a nitrogen fixing plant. Pea straw is the product left over when the pea crop has been harvested. After harvest we rake, bale and store enough straw ready for sale..
