Environmentally Conscious
At Brokenwood Acres, our commitment to environmental consciousness extends beyond our farming practices to every aspect of our operation. We prioritize sustainability by repurposing materials whenever possible, giving new life to items that might otherwise go to waste.
We strive to set a positive example for sustainable living while minimizing our impact on the environment. Our greenhouse, for example, is constructed from upcycled materials sourced from Craigslist and Marketplace, reducing our ecological footprint while promoting resourcefulness. We also collaborate with local businesses for resources like branches for woodchips, coffee grounds for composting, and cardboard slips from Costco, fostering a sense of community and supporting sustainable practices.
We continuously explore innovative solutions to reduce waste and conserve resources. Our future endeavors include the introduction of biochar methods. We are committed to enhancing our farming practices, minimizing environmental impact, and meeting the evolving needs of our community. Through ongoing innovation and continuous improvement, we aim to lead the way towards a greener, more sustainable future.
