Small Changes
Helping you reduce plastic
Highfield House Farm are happy for you to bring your own reusable containers along when you shop, and they’ll put your meat and produce in there, rather than using disposable plastic.
Please note: the container must be hygienic, and Highfield House can’t take responsibility for this, so you do this at your own risk.
Highfield House Farm are looking at other ways to reduce the amount of plastic used in packaging. All their veg is sold loose, so no plastic packaging there.
