Who we are
About the farm
In Northumberland, near Rothbury on the edge of the Cragside Estate, we farm Cragend Farm, which Lord Armstrong remodelled as a model farm in the 1880s; we bought the derelict farm in 2011 and restored it. On the 150-acre estate we keep rare breeds: pedigree Whitebred Shorthorn cattle, Park type North Country Cheviot sheep and Bagot goats, as well as free-range hens and bees. We sell our own raw honey and fresh eggs on the farm, offer our guests B&B rooms and a self-catering cottage, and from May to October we run historic tours by appointment of the Grade II* listed silo and Armstrong's original hydraulic machinery.

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.
