Who we are

About the farm

Our farm shop and café opened in autumn 2019 on the Epiacum Roman Fort site, 2 miles north of Alston, Cumbria, directly on the A689 in the North Pennines AONB. Our home-bred beef and lamb are reared on the farm here on Alston Moor; they are sold in frozen packs in our shop and used in our café menu. Our shop also offers fresh and frozen local produce, and as an information centre we promote the Roman fort on site with two walking trails and a family trail; we are open every day.
