At The Barn at Pengelly, sustainability is at the heart of our operations. As a newly diversified business originating from a fifth-generation farm, we are dedicated to implementing practices that positively impact the environment, our local community, and our business operations. Nestled within a 200-acre farm, we continually strive to improve and maintain our environmental footprint.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Renewable Energy

• We utilize renewable energy sources, including solar panels, and have installed an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger for use by guests and staff.

Zero-Waste Practices

• Our venue bar and honeymoon cabin are crafted from fallen wood and reclaimed materials sourced from our farm, ensuring zero-waste production.

Wildlife Support

• Bird and bat boxes are installed on the honeymoon cabin to provide habitats for wildlife.
• We plant 5 acres of wildflower fields annually, creating vital food sources for insects, birds, and mammals, supporting pollination and biodiversity.

Tree Planting

• In 2023, we planted over 200 trees and continue to plant new trees each year to help offset carbon emissions.

Water Conservation

• Our venue utilizes an on-site spring water source, reducing reliance on local water supplies and eliminating the need for chemical treatments.

Community Engagement

• We actively support our local community by employing local talent and participating in community days.

Natural Habitats

• Our five natural lakes provide habitats for a variety of wildlife, including fish, herons, and geese, promoting a thriving ecosystem.

Sustainable Products

• We use B-Corp certified products such as Seep and Smol for cleaning, ensuring eco-friendly and safe practices.
• Our toiletries supplier, Bramley, avoids single-use plastics and uses biodegradable ingredients safe for rivers and oceans.

Our sustainability initiatives reflect our ongoing commitment to preserving the environment and fostering a positive impact on the community. By embracing these practices, we aim to ensure a thriving, sustainable future for generations to come.
