Hey there, monkey lovers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gather \u2018round because we\u2019ve got some wild news that\u2019ll make you want to swing from the trees in the name of sustainability!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Trentham Monkey Forest, we’re all about conservation and the environment. Our Barbary macaques eat almost 100kg of food a day and guess what? We’re feeding them in a way that Mother Nature would give two green thumbs up to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the ultimate farm-to-forest experience, and it\u2019s as green as the lush Staffordshire trees in our forest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about how local Farmer, Will Seabridge, who is helping us feed our cheeky Barbary macaques while keeping our carbon footprint as small as a monkey\u2019s footprint.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will runs Malthouse Farm, just a hop, skip, and a banana peel throw away from our beloved Monkey Forest. This guy is the unsung hero, growing the golden goodies that our monkeys can\u2019t get enough of – whilst keeping our carbon footprint miniscule!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why maize, you ask? Well, it turns out our Barbary macaques have quite the sophisticated palate.\u00a0 Locally sourced maize means our monkeys are munching on the freshest, tastiest kernels around. And the best part? It\u2019s all done with love from a nearby farm, cutting down on impactful transport emissions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here at Trentham Monkey Forest, we\u2019re swinging into action with our sustainability goals. By sourcing maize locally from Seabridge Farm, we\u2019re not just cutting down on air miles; we\u2019re slashing them. Less travel means fewer emissions, and fewer emissions mean we\u2019re inching closer to that elusive net-zero carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the takeaway from all this? We\u2019re not just feeding monkeys; we\u2019re nurturing a sustainable future. We\u2019re reducing air miles, supporting local farmers, and making sure the Barbary macaques get the best diet possible. It\u2019s a win-win-win situation!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more! Will isn\u2019t just a maize man; he\u2019s also the guy behind Barlaston Milk Barn. Picture this: a quaint little barn where you can get your hands on the most delicious, flavoured, pasteurised milk you\u2019ve ever tasted. It\u2019s also local, fresh, and totally sustainable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next time you visit us, take a moment to appreciate the locally sourced goodness that\u2019s making our monkeys jump for joy. And maybe swing by Barlaston Milk Barn to treat yourself to some of Will\u2019s legendary milk. After all, if it\u2019s good enough for our monkeys, it\u2019s definitely good enough for us!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to happy monkeys, a healthy planet, and a future that\u2019s as bright and shiny as a freshly peeled banana.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cheers to sustainability, one kernel at a time at Monkey Forest!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
