Wildflower Meadows and Eco-wallsAs part of our commitment to reducing our carbon impact, we have turned some formerly intensively farmed land into a wildflower meadow, reduced the frequency of grass cutting, and ceased spraying near the campsite area. For both guests and pollinators, we have installed hanging flower baskets around the showers and constructed eco-walls on the flanks of our cabins.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNEY
The campsite is a new addition to our efforts to diversify our working mixed arable farm. Our primary goal for the campsite is to create a sustainable business that is in harmony with nature and encourages its flourishing. Follow us on social media to get regular updates on our progress!
Eco-stoves We are upgrading our log burners in the cabins and tents to Mazona Warwick 4KW eco-design multi-fuel stoves. These stoves are smoke-exempt, DEFRA-approved, and specially designed to reduce carbon emissions. All our logs are taken from dead trees felled across the seasons and debris on the farm.
Recycling MaterialsReducing waste and utilising building materials already on the farm are at the forefront of our efforts to expand the campsite. For example, we have used timber pallets to construct our eco-walls and materials such as corrugated tin, hessian sacks, and discarded tiles to furnish our cabins and tents. Recently, we have installed a second toilet facility—a compost toilet—as part of our project to reduce energy wastage.
Monitoring Progress and Future GoalsSo far, the farm wildlife has increased in numbers; there are deers, stoats, rabbits, owls, bats, yellow hammers and various types of tits and finches, toads, dragonflies, crickets, butterflies and other insects with the transformation of the site into a campsite. Eventually, we would like to expand our energy-saving efforts by installing solar panels on our campsite. We aim to increase our self-sufficiency.
