We continuously strive to reduce our footprint :
NATURAL AND RECYCLED MATERIALS : Our Joglos are hand carved using Javanese traditional techniques, from 100% recycled and antique teak. They are designed to circulate the naturally cool rice field breezes. The Joglos are fan cooled, and all beds have mosquito nets.
FOOD PRODUCTION : A large portion of the Rice Joglo property is dedicated to food production. You'll find our garden fruits, vegetables and herbs in your daily complimentary breakfast. Your eggs will be laid fresh by the ducks. The food farm, along with other local Sok Wayah farmers supplies our in house restaurant.
SUSTAINABLE GARDENING : Food waste is minimised by using fresh ingredients over preserved or packaged ingredients. Organic waste is fed to the ducks, who in turn supply eggs for your breakfast. Water is diverted and re-routed back into the Subak. Crops are regularly planted, and rotated for the health of the soil. We love to show our guests how food is traditionally grown in Bali, and the ways in which Balinese farming utilises the natural volcanic soil. Our gardener will be happy to show you the seasonal produce, and how crops are rotated.
ANIMALS : We keep an assortment of animals well cared for and comfortable in their own custom built "Joglos". The animals provide compost, and the ducks lay eggs. Other rice field wildlife roams free on the property. Our resident cat Schlukie is part of this eco-system. She either catches or discourages mice and snakes from getting into guest areas so you should never have to see one (!)
ENERGY CONSUMPTION : We produce much of our electricity using both solar panels, and our own windmill. As Bali’s climate is warm all year round, solar panels for hot water was an easy and effective choice. Installing the windmill is our recent upgrade. The Joglos are not air conditioned which saves on energy and emissions
PERSONAL CARE : All our soap and personal cleaning products, as well as bedlinen and laundry is without chemicals
