Upper Hurst Farm Achieves EQM

Sue Green • Apr 09, 2017

Earlier this year Upper Hurst Farm was awarded the prestigious Environmental Quality Mark, which demonstrates the company’s commitment to the environment and the local economy.

It is an award presented by the Peak District National Park Authority to companies and organisations that:

  • Support the local economy
  • Protect the global environment
  • Enhance the local environment
  • Invest in people and communities
  • Celebrate what’s special about the Peak District National Park

When people buy a product or use a service provided by a company that has been awarded the EQM, they can be confident that they will be helping to look after the Peak District environment, as well as local people and communities.

Commenting on the award Sue Green, the founder and owner of Upper Hurst Farm said: “At the very outset we wanted to create a business that would support and enhance the Peak District and local environment.

“We installed a biomass boiler and have recently installed 100 solar panels, so our impact on the environment has been significantly reduced. am very proud that we have achieved this award and look forward to continuing to do what we can for the environment.”

We're thrilled to announce that we've been rated 5-stars by Visit England - England's official tourist board! It's the first time we've applied for an official star rating and we're over the moon to have been rated 5 stars. In their report, visit England said: "The park is maintained to an extremely high standard with a strong nature-based ethos. Nestled in the Peak District guests are guaranteed a tranquil location with stunning views and excellent facilities. The owners do a superb job in maintaining this established park to such a high level. Continual investment ensures guests can expect a high standard throughout." It's wonderful to receive some recognition for the hard work we put into the site. We promise to continue to maintain and improve what we have created here so that our standards never slip, and so our customers can continue to enjoy the landscape and location.

Camping provides so many benefits. Camping is good for you, both physically and mentally. Benefits include connecting to nature, increased physical exercise, unplugging from technology, social opportunities, learning new skills, and more family time.
