Sustainability & Positive Impact at Oh Deere Farm Stay
Treading Lightly, Living Fully
At Oh Deere Farm Stay, we believe in giving back more than we take - from the land, from our community, and from every visitor's journey.
Our Commitments
We’re not just about wide-open skies and fresh air - we’re serious about sustainability:
-
Solar Powered Living: Our homestead, powered sites and facilities are powered by solar energy, reducing grid reliance and emissions.
-
Water Wise: Rainwater tanks supply our gardens. We practice water conservation across the property.
-
Biodiversity Boosters: We’ve planted cover crops such as sunflowers and sunn hemp to support bees, birds, and butterflies.
-
Recycling Philosophy: we encourage separating rubbish to allow for recycling and keeping waste to a minimum.
-
Leave No Trace: We educate all guests (especially our younger ones!) on respecting the land, animals, and local ecosystems.
Community & Education
-
School Tours That Matter: Every educational visit includes hands-on lessons in sustainable farming
-
Local Love: We source supplies and services from local farmers and trades. Supporting our neighbours means supporting sustainability.
