Who we are
About the farm
We farm East Knitsley Grange Farm at Knitsley, County Durham, as the sixth generation of the Jewson family: on our roughly 200-acre (about 81 ha), mainly grassland farm we keep suckler cows (with an Aberdeen Angus bull), around 240 breeding ewes and a small flock of hens. Our on-farm butchery processes our own livestock (topped up with animals from other local farms to meet demand): beef is hung for at least 21 days, and we make sausages, bacon, our own cured hams and pies, while our on-site bakery bakes bread and cakes every day. We sell through our farm shop and the Granary Cafe, take online orders for collection at the shop and offer outside catering for events.

Write a review
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.
