Our Green Ethos
Marian &
Jim Candy with their family, have
always been interested in ecology
and wildlife and this is
evident
in the way the farm is run. Their
life revolves around the seasons and
a natural way of life without too
many of the trappings of modern
living. You will be free from
commercial influences to enjoy
nature and family life in all its
glory.
The Farm
has excellent disabled facilities as
well as being a fully working
organic farm. Even the vehicles
Marian and Jim have chosen are the
most environmentally friendly they
could find, lacking all the 'extras'
that some cars have that 'eat'
additional resources and of course
cost the earth. Their car has very
low emissions, the veg delivery van
is a recycled Post Office van
(painted green of course!), the farm
4 wd runs on veg oil, whilst the
tractor was chosen for fuel economy.
Roof and
spring water are being used to
provide water for the farm animals,
thanks to a Farm and Environment
Link Project grant. Plans are
evolving to use solar panels and
wood burners to heat the house and
provide all hot water.
Jim and
Marian are constantly trying to
reduce energy consumption, not only
to reduce costs, but also to reduce
CO2 emissions, and buy green
electricity from
