Who we are
About the farm
Our family farm was started in 1987 by Matthew and Tracy Betney with a single field in West Auckland, County Durham; on our own pastures we rear grass-fed Aberdeen Angus and Shorthorn cattle, heritage-breed pigs and chickens, and we grow the grain for their winter feed in our own fields. For around 15 years we have run our farm shop, butchery and bakery, offering aged beef, hand-linked sausages and dry-cured bacon from our own livestock, homemade pies, cakes and bread, alongside cheese, honey and dairy from local producers. Our lakeside Mill Kitchen restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, and we take pre-orders for Christmas meat boxes.

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.
