Copy's Green Farm, Wighton, England
Tuesday 15th December • 10:30 AM - 2 PM
Join us at Copys Green Farm on a Farm Walk with Stephen & Catherine Temple, finalists in the Carbon Farmer of the Year 2026 competition.
Stephen and Catherine have examined every aspect of their farm business through the GHG emissions lens as well as working to reduce single use plastics and increase biodiversity. Having started as engineers, they have been innovative and creative in their approach. From a ‘home made’ anaerobic digester to capture the methane from their dairy slurry, composting manure and switching to electricity as a replacement for fossil fuels wherever possible, there is not an aspect of their farm which is not considered as part of a circular reduced waste system.
Despite having made huge improvements to their carbon footprint already, the Temples are still looking at how they can sequester and store more carbon on their holding, as well as reducing emissions wherever possible. They have also diversified into cheesemaking, (Mrs Temple’s cheese range is now a well loved brand) and give this process the same careful attention in terms of environmentally responsible business practices. During the visit we will have the chance to see some cheesemaking and cheese will be available to purchase.
The farm address is - Copys Green Farm, NR23 1NY and the What3words for parking is https://w3w.co/waters.undertone.loops
