We are committed to preserving this Farm for future generations and endeavor to create lasting memories for those who choose to spend their wedding day here.


As you review the facilities available for your wedding, we would like you to know a few other facts about the Farm of which we are proud.  Eco-friendly Resources


 

 

Solar Power

Tyrone Farm has invested in solar technology and our photovoltaic system became operational in Spring of 2008. The photovoltaic array at Tyrone Farm provides the vast majority of our electricity needs and is grid-tied to feed energy back into the electrical grid.

 

Flowers Grown On-Site Without Chemicals

Tyrone Farm grows flowers on-site without chemicals, thereby drastically reducing pollutants in the soil and eliminating the energy needed to transport and refrigerate flowers.

 

Recycling
We recycle glass, plastic, paper, aluminum, and cardboard.

 

Adapting & Reusing Structures

Tyrone Farm is committed to the adaptive re-use of existing structures. By utilizing existing structures, we are conserving and creatively reusing historic buildings. Adaptive reuse is the process of adapting old structures for new purposes. The greenest building is the one that has already been built. 

 

The Chestnut Barn, which was the home to animals of all sorts and sizes over the last 150 years, has been repurposed as a gathering space. The adaptive re-use of existing buildings conserves materials and embodied energy. Adaptive re-use is a key factor in land conservation and reducing sprawl. 

 

Eco-Friendly Guest Cottage

The Guest Cottage and home located at 107 Tyrone Road are energy-efficient "green" homes developed and factory-built in Denmark.  These handsome Trelleborg homes are notable because they are extremely energy efficient and contain conservation technologies. These homes contain R-38 walls, insulated with recycled denim from blue jean manufacturing, fiber cement roof tiles, energy-saving appliances,  and lo-flow toilets.

 
Open Spaces

The majority of Tyrone Farm land is open space, primarily woods and fields. This land is recognized by the Town of Pomfret as prime agricultural land and much of it is currently used for agricultural purposes.
