Hasty’s Adventure Farm Sustainability Timeline

The hedge surrounding Hasty’s was planted in 2015. We planted a native hedge to promote biodiversity and provide natural habitats for our local wildlife.

We planted trees around the tractor park to provide shade for visitors and in our animal enclosures to offer shade, shelter and environmental enrichment for our animals.

We built a dedicated bug area and a bird feeding area. This is to encourage our local insects and birds to thrive.

We switched to using cardboard food trays for some of our hot food items, reducing single- use plastic waste on-site.

Wildflower areas were developed and nurtured. We encourage wildflower growth including a small area of stinging nettles as they support butterflies.

While not many public changes took place we used Covid as a time to start planning even more green improvements behind the scenes.

We completely phased out our plastic cutlery, replacing it with wooden alternatives to support sustainable consumption.

We started using coffee grounds from our Kiosk coffee machine on plants and trees to boost growth naturally.

We planted more trees around the farm for an even greater biodiversity around the farm.

We joined a local cardboard recycling scheme, meaning all the waste cardboard from Hasty’s now goes on to become other things. We also started shredding all our unwanted trail sheets and waste paper from our shop. We use the shreddings as bedding for our Guinea Pigs and Pig. This is giving waste a second life.

In addition to our yearly initiatives, we at Hasty’s are always looking for creative and sustainable additions to our farm. Some of these include… Making some of our seasonable games out of reclaimed wood. We up cycle the best we can and use unwanted tyres in to a lot of our decorations around the farm.

We are always going to continue our ongoing planting of trees in enclosures and key areas in the farm.
