Here at Street End Farm we recognise how important the way we run our business is to the environment and the impact it has on this beautiful planet we inhabit. Below are a number of things that we do to reduce our carbon footprint and run our business in a way that helps to create a sustainable future.
Growing Our Own Products
We grow as many of our bird seed ingredients that we physically can on our farm. If we can’t grow them – we source them from local farming neighbours wherever possible. This means transport mileage is dramatically less than most of the major bird seed suppliers who import most of their seed from all over the world
Farming for the Future
The way we farm, supports British native birds and migratory visitors and also all the other beautiful wildlife we are so lucky to share our planet with.
Recycling and Minimising Waste
We are certified members of the Webbpaton XS farm waste plastic and cardboard recycling scheme, and all farm waste plastic and cardboard is sorted, packed up and delivered to the local site for baling and recycling.
Their target is to prevent all their farm plastic entering landfill sites – and to date this ambitious target has been met- which is fantastic for our environment.
Our Packaging
Our 20kg and 13kg bags are recyclable and waterproof. If you experience difficulties recycling these we will be very happy to have them back and recycle them within our recycling scheme. Just fold them small and post them back to us here at the farm.
We will also be very pleased to have the small (4kg) plastic bags back to recycle.
