The staff of Organix met at Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre today. They enjoyed a Reedbed Ramble, a Farm Tour and talked about sustainable building design over lunch! As always, lunch was organic, seasonal and fresh from the farm. Chicken pie; saffron and kale tart; leaf salad; roast carrot and beetroot; cheese and tomato focaccia on the side; and for dessert, sticky toffee pudding.

Organix makes organic foods for babies and toddlers, established by Lizzie Vann in 1992. They have a strong culture of healthy, organic food (no junk) and the company makes a lot of effort to communicate with the customer. Organix have a blog which lets you know what they’re up to, and their packaging ‘shouts’ organic. So they understood why we tell our customers about the Sheepdrove story

The Reedbed Ramble, Farm Tour and the eco-building conversations were something new for the Organix team. But all 35 could relate to how an award-winning business with outstanding projects emerged from strong ethical principles.

Sheepdrove is a great place to base a meeting if you aim to stimulate new ideas and fresh thinking in your business. If you fancy a day here for your staff team, please book the venue well in advance to avoid disappointment. For a group of 35 – 60 the Beech Room is perfect.

The gold standard venue - Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre

Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre immediately achieved a Gold rating when assessed for the Green Tourism Business Scheme for the first time. That’s the best score you can get.

GTBS senior grader Martin Webb said: “Sheepdrove Eco-Conference Centre must be one of the most sustainable venues – they are a shining light in showing how it is possible to bring sustainability to the conference/venue market. They have looked at every aspect of running a green conference business and taken steps to ensure that any impacts are minimal. Any delegate coming to the site should be blown away by not only the green-ness of the place but the excellent and high quality service they provide.”
