BeeGreen

Here at Honeybuns we're not just concerned with baking beautifully crafted cakes. We're also dedicated to leaving as light a footprint as possible upon our surroundings.

Recycling and energy

We're working to achieve almost zero waste to landfill in our bakery and production. All glass, tin and aluminium are recycled and we compost our food waste. We've also invested in solar panels on the bakery.

We have resident mowers who keep the meadow grass under control

Take a peek at Joaney Cam, our two live webcams - one overlooks the yard where our herd of horses live, and the other is installed in a nest box by the bakery.

You can find updates about our BeeGreen endeavours on Em's Blog.

Environmentally friendly

We love bees and have planted many gorgeous looking and smelling herb and flower beds here at the farm. We wanted as many of the plants as possible to be tasty to humans as well as to birds, bees and butterflies. You can find more here about what we're doing to encourage bees at Naish Farm.

We also support the Dorset Wildlife Trust North Dorset Group with cake supplies for their monthly meetings.

Naish Farm's old dairy buildings have been gently adapted to accomodate our gluten free bakery and Bee Shack thus Naish Farm still looks and feels like a farm.

Onsite nature reserve

Our bakery is nestled in 5 acres of Dorset countryside which we run as a nature reserve. The 'sward' or pasture is maintained by our motley crew of beloved pony and charismatic donkeys. They bring lots of love and affection to our working week and they look a little bit like an off duty circus. come and see them on our pop-up Bee Shack shop days.
