Long post alert! But it`s one we’re proud of here at Rougham Estate on World Environment Day.
The environment plays a big part in our day-to-day decisions and in shaping the future of the Estate. Today is a great reminder of why we do what we do and why it matters.
The Estate spans over 3,000 acres of Suffolk countryside, with 20% dedicated to woodland, and these include ancient semi-natural areas, home to veteran oaks, hazel coppice and diverse native flora like bluebells and wild garlic.
As proud participants in the Mid-tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme we implement features such as skylark plots, grass- and flower-enriched margins and over 110 acres of pollen and nectar strips, supporting pollinators and providing habitats for farmland birds, especially during the winter months.
We also have several bee hives on the Estate, playing an important role in supporting local pollination and keeping our ecosystems healthy.
Our permanent pastures are managed with low input systems to encourage biodiversity and hedgerows are cut in rotation to support nesting birds.
Water conservation is also of importance. We`ve undertaken pond restoration projects and are exploring the creation of wetland areas to enhance habitats for amphibians and other wildlife.
Additionally, we maintain a 97% recycling rate and prioritise purchasing locally and choosing recycled or sustainable products whenever possible.
There is no planet B!

We’re just back from a brilliant Suffolk Show and wanted to share a couple of lovely bits of news connected to the local area.
Huge congratulations to Zac, the beekeeper who keeps his hives on the estate and sells his honey in the shop – he won 1st prize at the Suffolk Beekeepers Association Honey Show! We also use Zac’s honey in some of our Roots Café recipes, so we’re especially chuffed for him and can vouch for it tasting delicious!
And a big well done to Rougham School’s Year 6 Head Gardeners, who were awarded a Silver Gilt in the Schools Garden Competition. There were 16 schools involved and some strong entries, so this is a fantastic result. We’d donated a few gardening tools to the school club a couple of years ago so it’s lovely to know they have been put to good use.
Such a great effort all round. Makes us very proud.

A zesty twist on a classic favourite – our Limoncello Waffle is pure sunshine on a plate.
Topped with silky Limoncello curd, Italian meringue, a splash of raspberry coulis and a touch of lime to keep things fresh.
Sweet, sharp and impossible to resist. Why not treat yourself?
