And do you want to know how we
know it is so low? Well Lincolnshire based Jack Buck Farms, in Spalding, carried
out by CLM Ltd of East Sussex and Increment Ltd of Cambridge.
“The audit includes all aspects
of production including electricity, diesel and fertiliser use”, said Chris Tye
of Increment.
“Although this is just the start
of the project for Jack Buck’s we are confident this is easily one of the
lowest carbon flowers available.”
Daffodils are grown from bulbs
that capture their energy from sunlight in the previous year, and they are grown
outside with no applied heat.
Robin Buck of Jack Buck’s said: “The
energy cost is of course reflected in the price. The unique variety Tamsyn is
especially good value because it has a vase life much longer than other
daffodils”.
Julian Perowne of Jack Buck Farms
said: “Understanding our carbon footprint is just the first step for us. Our
aim is to reduce emissions per unit of output year on year and we will be
working with CLM and Increment to do just that”.
