Our house, office and outbuildings are heated and powered by renewable energy. We have a 30 tube solar thermal installation for our hot water supplies, photovoltaic panels which produce electricity for our use and to sell back to the National Grid via Good Energy and a woodburner which exclusively burns our own wood from Moors Wood. We do have an oil boiler as back up heating but intend to replace it with a wood pellet boiler in the near future. We have our own private water supply and sewerage treatment system. We harvest rainwater and recycle or compost virtually all of our waste. We use recycled paper and environmentally friendly toiletries and cleaning products.
Moors Wood is managed using Permaculture and Organic principles. Most of our vegetables and fruit are home grown but if bought in, as much as possible is locally sourced, organic and fair trade. We only buy free range/organic dairy and meat and we keep our own free range, organically fed chickens for eggs (some are ex commercial hens as well). We bake our own bread, make jams, chutneys, wines, juices and cider.
We try to ensure that, as far as possible, you will eat and drink organic, local and free range food while you are with us in Moors Wood.
