• We like to support other local businesses in the Launceston area and we buy as much locally produced ingredients as possible for our breakfast menu.
• We use energy saving light bulbs and energy saving appliances.
• We compost as much organic waste matter as possible.
• We re-cycle glass, plastic and newspaper.
• We grow our own vegetables.
• To reduce the carbon footprint, we encourage our visitors to use public transport when possible.
• We warmly welcome all walkers and cyclists.
• We feed the birds and encourage birds to nest in the garden, this year we played host to a family of Wrens.
