Plus we get to support our local businesses! -We homemake our bread and our cake not only so that you get the freshest and tastiest supplies, but also so that we know that nothing unethical and nasty has gone into it. -We heat our facilities using renewable systems: an air-sourced heat pump. -The electricity for our facilites is from renewable systems: solar panels. In addition to this, in Tawny Owl we have no electricity at all, all lights are solar powered, from the main lights, to the twinkly fairy lights to the lanterns.
