Live demo of the SF Text Columns 8 section — five expertly-customized variations on one page.
Last year, in numbers
Published every January whether or not they flatter us. This year they mostly do.
-
412,000 pints
Brewed, of which 9,000 went down the drain and we would rather say so.
-
96% local
Of our malt came from within forty miles. The other four per cent was Belgian and unavoidable.
-
18 people
On the payroll, all on the real living wage, including the weekend bar staff.
-
1.4 pints
Of water used per pint of beer, down from 2.1 when we started measuring it.
What your money did
Every figure below is from the audited accounts, filed in April.
-
2,140 nights
Of emergency accommodation, up from 1,690 the year before.
-
87p
In every pound went directly to services. The rest is rent, audit and two salaries.
-
61 people
Moved into a permanent tenancy, and forty-eight of them are still in it.
Ten years
Small on purpose, and intending to stay that way.
-
9 people
And no plans for a tenth.

The farm, measured
Recorded since we came out of conventional in 2011.
-
4.1% organic matter
In the top soil, up from 1.9% at the start. It is the only number on this farm that really matters.
-
112 species
Recorded in the margins last summer by the county wildlife trust, against 34 in 2011.
-
Zero insecticide
For eleven seasons. We still lose a proportion of the brassicas and have made our peace with it.
-
38% less diesel
Per hectare, mostly from ploughing far less rather than from anything clever.

241,000 visits
