Who we are

About the farm

We farm an 18-acre (about 7 ha) family farm in Harperley, North Durham, established in the mid-1800s, with small paddocks bordered by old hawthorn hedges. We keep slow-grown rare-breed pigs – mainly British Saddleback, as well as Middle White and Large Black – along with alpacas, sheep and Native Aberdeen Angus cattle; we use no pesticides and do not use antibiotics routinely. Through our online shop we sell pork, handmade sausages, dry-cured bacon, slow-smoked pulled pork, hogget and beef, delivered or collected from the farm after pre-ordering, and we also offer haylage for horse owners. Visits and alpaca walking are by arrangement.
