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.

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.
