Who we are
About the farm
We, the Tweddle family, have been farming at Archdeacon Newton near Darlington since 1928; today, four generations on, we run a dairy herd on the 360-acre (approx. 146 ha) Garthorne Farm, certified organic by the Soil Association since 1998. Our Dairy Shorthorn cross cows graze outdoors from spring to autumn; we pasteurise and bottle their milk on the farm in returnable glass bottles, churn butter every week and power the dairy with our own wind turbine. We deliver milk, cream and butter to doorsteps once or twice a week around Darlington, Richmond, Northallerton, Barnard Castle and Aycliffe, and supply cafés, schools and shops wholesale. We occasionally invite customers to open days and evening farm walks.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
