Sustainability
As the realities of Climate change become more and more evident it is vital that companies like Brookfarm play a positive role in helping to preserve our planet.
On our own farm we have planted over 30,000 sub-tropical rainforest and Eucalypt trees. At Brookfarm we are committed to planting 1500 rainforest trees a year. Our transition to full Organic Certification began in January 2010 and is the completion of a 10 year program of moving our farm to safe and natural farming methods . We have eliminated chemicals, pesticides and synthetic fertilisers from our farm. We now critically look at all aspects of our farming operation to reduce our carbon footprint.
In November 2008 Brookfarm formed a partnership with the Australian based Rainforest Rescue. We have committed funds from the sales of our new Walkabout Mix and Brookfarm Bars to preserve for ever land that borders the Daintree National Park. By buying back this freehold land we preserve vitally important wildlife corridors that will protect native animals including the endangered Cassowary.
Recently we have joined with over 200 other New South Wales companies - working with the State Governments Sustainability Advantage program. Every aspect of our business is critically examined and measured for its carbon footprint, and through the changes we are making we are working towards becoming carbon negative.
