Fun Fact: Our solar panels harness enough natural energy from the sun each year to make 4,177,061.42 cups of brewed tea.

Our rooftops are fixed with Solar Photovoltaic (PV) pannels that convert sunlight into electricity, even on cloudy days!

From January 2024 to May 2025 our Solar Panels produced an outstanding figure of 472,007.94 kWh! Which is the equivilant to:

2,480 Trees Being Planted
96.73 Tonnes of CO2

Solar Power comes with so many benefits such as environmental, ethical and economical. Here at Darts Farm we believe in an energy source that doesn't cost the earth. With an ever-growing Farm Shop we have now expanded to, 5 on-site buildings with rooftop solar panels.

Sustainability Beyond the Solar Panels

Our native Ruby Red Devon cattle graze by the River Clyst in the summer months, enriching the soil and supporting natural carbon capture. In winter, we raise water levels to boost biodiversity and attract migratory wildlife.

Along our Nature Trail, you'll find wildflowers, rare bee orchids, insect hotels, beehives, and woodland — all helping to improve pollination, biodiversity and soil health.

We also capture excess heat from our refrigeration to warm water drawn from our own farm borehole, making even our energy use more sustainable!
