A small wind turbine installed in 2010 helps to lower our carbon footprint
Biomass
Biomass boilers are used to heat all our poultry sites, a low emission way of operating.
Natural Fertiliser
Over the last few years we have cut our artificial fertilizer use by 99% by using all natural fertilizer on our land and selling to nearby farmers
Soil Health
We have seen an increase in our soil health over the last few years with an abundance of earthworms and higher nitrous oxide levels.
We use minimum tillage techniques where possible for our grass and cereal development.
Carbon Management
Aiming to be net zero we have taken on the massive responsibility of lowering our carbon output. We have done this through a number of methods including; planting over 600 trees in 2020 using a grant from the woodland trust, limiting the occurrence of hedge trimming on our land, investing in technology and changing practices to lower our carbon output. We aim to complete our farm carbon footprint soon which will enable us to track and progress with our carbon management.
Wildlife conservation
We have invested in areas of wildlife conservation by constructing ponds and planting trees and shrubbery which will not only benefit local wildlife but also help in our quest to become net zero.
