Sustainability

Rooted in Tradition

Our family has farmed 600 acres high on the Yorkshire Wolds for generations and our aim is to continue to do so! Sustainability is key, we want to work in balance with nature so we have and are always looking into new ways to look after our land and surroundings.

We installed two wind turbines on site in 2011. These generate 95% of all our electricity, any excess is fed back into the grid.

We are currently working on initiatives and methods by which to store excess electricity (batteries etc) which is generated overnight when things are not running so we can use it during ‘non windy’ days.

All water used on site is drawn from our borehole. This goes down into the natural chalk aquifer that is under this part of the Wolds and takes the water from there. Apart from some monitoring every now and then it is untreated.

Naturally pure.
