Brewing Change

The owners of Heartwood Farm & Cidery are very aware of how important it is to be mindful of waste and how they impact the local community. The SDGs that they focus on are Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Climate Action. They help these SDGs by using the cradle to cradle farming strategy, getting as many of their ingredients from close by in order to reduce their carbon footprint and help support local farmers, and finally by being mindful of their waste.
