Renewable Energy

As part of our ambition to reduce our carbon footprint, we have had erected the first Solar Barn in the country. The building was purposefully designed to make the solar panel roof as efficient as possible. This provides a large proportion of the electricity that is used on farm. It also provides us with a very useful shed for storing grain and fertiliser throughout the year.

 

We have also put an unproductive field down to Solar panels. The electricity produced from this field is fed directly into the grid. The field also provides summer grazing for our flock of sheep.
