Environmental Commitment

Here at Great Field Farm we are committed to providing an excellent quality of service for our guests whilst minimising the environmental impact of our activities.

We aim to adhere to good environmental practise in all our business activities.

To achieve this we: -

• Recycle - paper, magazines, junk mail, cardboard, glass, aluminium cans, steel cans, plastic bottles etc. Food and garden waste is composted and grass cuttings are used as mulch.
  
• Products - Eco-friendly cleaning products; use of recycled paper i.e. writing paper, toilet paper etc
  
• Energy - Use of low energy light bulbs wherever possible; A rated appliances; double-glazing throughout with lowE argon filled units.
  Fresh air and heat recovery system fitted in the farmhouse and our new unit.
  Our new building is to be heated by a ground source heat pump.
  
• Use of our own organically grown raspberries and blackcurrants at breakfast. Other products are sourced locally.
  
• Provision of local maps to encourage guests to walk or cycle and leave the car behind.
  
• Wildlife - More planting to encourage yet more birds and butterflies into the garden and paddocks.

As part of our commitment to Green Tourism we are part of the scheme being carried out in the Kent Downs and have been given a Silver Award by the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
