Barons Eden has strengthened its sustainability offering by introducing beehives at a number of its properties to produce home-grown honey.
The company has introduced 20 beehives across its properties, overseen by resident beekeepers.
The honey is used in many of the dishes served on its menus, including at breakfast with American pancakes and in the spiced belly of pork at lunch.
Furthermore the Hoar Cross Hotel has seen a £1.5m investment to move from Kerosene to Biomass for their source of heating.
Barons Eden has committed to the UK’s target to halve carbon emissions by 2030 and continually evolve its sustainability promise.
Steve Clements, a director of the Barons Eden collection, said: “We are proud of our ongoing work to make Hoar Cross Hall as sustainable as we can, and we will meet our 2030 commitment to halve our carbon emissions this year, 2023.
“Introducing the beehives onto the estate together with the rewilding projects, allows us to continue making our grounds a thriving and welcoming place for wildlife and insects, as well as creating produce onsite which we can share with our guests.”
