Big bright news from the farm☀️☀️

We’re pleased to share that a new 1.5MW on-site solar array at Belton Farm is now up and running.

The array will directly power our cheesemaking with renewable electricity, reducing our carbon footprint by an estimated 350 tonnes of CO2 in the first year alone.

Because it’s located on-site here at Belton, the system delivers energy with minimal transmission losses, making each kilowatt go further. It’s a long-term investment that supports both our environmental goals and energy cost management.

Sustainability has been a focus at Belton Farm for many years. We’ve been monitoring our carbon footprint since 2009, and from our emissions reduction work to partnerships with local farming families, we’re always looking for ways to lessen our impact while continuing to make great cheese.

Thanks to Conrad Energy for helping us bring it to life.
