Shepherd Filters Supporting Farmers

Alongside our alignment with supporting the NDIS community, a percentage of our sales were donated to Rural Aid in January 2019, in a campaign that received a tremendous amount of support from our customers. Rural Aid is an Australian charity which has the primary purpose to provide assistance to relieve the poverty, illness, distress,or significant and unusual disadvantage of individuals and families conducting, directly or indirectly, primary production businesses and who are or have been adversely affected by acts of God (including, without limitation, droughts, floods and other natural disasters).

It’s a fact that without our farmers there would be no food on our plates, no clothes on our back, and no filters to protect kitchen exhaust hood systems from fires for that matter! Shepherd Filters relies heavily on Australian wool farmers to produce our disposable kitchen grease filters. Wool has a natural affinity for oils, making it a great choice for grease containment. The proof is in the pudding (pardon the pun) with Shepherd Filters’ ability to capture up to 98% of grease particulates before they have the chance to accumulate inside the kitchen exhaust system (where they become a fire hazard). From a food-safety and hygiene perspective, wool is also naturally resistant to bacteria, mould, and mildew. It also has an innate ability to absorb and neutralise many harmful pollutants from the air, benefitting those who use the space (in this case, the kitchen – where the magic happens).
