Sustainability
Our mission statement: To play our part in creating a sustainable future for our visitors our community and our team.
At The Ice Cream Farm, sustainability is a fundamental commitment woven into the business. We recognise the importance of preserving the environment for future generations and have therefore implemented a range of sustainable practices which promote responsible business operations.
Just some of the ways we do this are:
Using predominantly local suppliers (around 80%), which not only supports the local economy but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
Investing in renewable energy sources, such as solar panels to contribute to a more sustainable energy landscape.
Using biodegradable packaging and sustainable brands such as VegWare.
Using an external company which hand sorts our recycling.
Creating a lake and planting a large area of wild seeds at The Drive In to encourage wildlife.
We also continuously measure:
Our Carbon Footprint
Our electricity consumption
How we can become Net Zero
We are incredibly proud to be a Sustainable Palm Oil Ambassador in partnership with Chester Zoo. As part of this initiative, we carefully examine the origins of all the ingredients we use and the products we sell across our site, ensuring that our products are sustainably sourced where possible.
