Sustainability

Olly's Farm is committed to ecologically sound practices, striving for self-sufficiency and working in harmony with nature. The farm operates to organic standards, completely avoiding the use of chemicals, fertilizers, and herbicides. They prioritize recycling and create their own compost and mulches to nourish the soil.

To conserve water, they have a system to harvest rainwater from their buildings for use in the vegetable garden and for the animals. The farm also supports local wildlife by not cutting hay or silage until July to allow birds to nest, and by installing bird, bat, and owl boxes. Additionally, they have incorporated solar panels and a heat pump to make their honey house and home more energy efficient.
