We’re working hard to explore how the business can meet the UK Government’s commitment to net zero emissions by 2050. We aim to be a market leader in providing low-carbon fruit, meeting customer’s expectations to reduce the emissions generated in our farming business.
As custodians of the landscape that we farm, we take our responsibilities seriously. We have put in place specific measures to effectively manage and maintain the natural ecosystem, establishing a habitat which encourages fauna and flora to co-exist alongside commercial fruit production.

We regularly measure and review the CO2 emissions generated as a result of our business activities and we are proactive in taking steps to reduce and minimise our total greenhouse gas footprint.
We are investing in an innovative low-carbon heated production project.
Using water sourced from the River Medway, our new heating system will employ a heat pump to remove one to two degrees from a small proportion of the river water and achieve pipe temperature in the green house of up to 50 degrees.

Water is critical to our business and we are respectful of the need to carefully manage this finite resource. Clock House Farm is committed to introducing new initiatives to optimise water productivity and reduce water stress, helping to maximise the sustainability of our fruit cultivation.
