Our Environment

At Treflach Farm, while we must operate a financially viable small-scale farm, we strive to do so in a way which minimises our impact on the local and global environment.  Some of the ways we ensure this are:

• We use only recycled, biodegradable plastic carrier bags for our market stalls and have instigated a 5p charge for these.  We offer post consumer waste paper bags free of charge.  We also encourage all of our customers to return and re-fill the egg boxes that we provide.

• We have sourced biodegradable butchers trays made from corn starch and all of our meat products are now packaged in these.  We have decided to pass only half of the small cost increase onto the customer while half is footed by Treflach Farm as a company.

• We have changed our 2nd vehicle to a small engined, LPG car in order to reduce our carbon footprint.

• We are now looking to find a bulk supplier of bio-diesel to run our delivery van.
