Acorn Dairy

Info:  We aim to supply the local community with local produce of the highest standard, employing local people.

Our family has been farming at Archdeacon Newton since 1928, through four generations. In common with many consumers, we have become increasingly concerned about the quality of the food we and our children eat, and its traceability. As a consequence, in 1998 we began conversion of Garthorne at Archdeacon Newton and Hallwith Farm near Leyburn in Wensleydale to organic status.

The Tweddle family began to deliver milk in the 1930s through to the 1960s but, like many small dairies, we were gradually pushed out by larger dairy businesses. However, we have now revived the tradition of doorstep and wholesale delivery with our own organic milk and cream, and other complementary produce through Acorn Dairy.

Broom Mill Farm

Info:  Our Farm Shop boasts a fresh meat butchery, locally-baked bread, free-range eggs, poultry, farmhouse cheeses and ice-cream, milk and cream and a wide variety of preserves and pickles. Our in-house farm bakery produces a wide range of hand-made pies, quiches and soups.

Burtree House Farm

Info:  We will be pleased to show you our excellent range of farm produce on sale, including free range eggs, home grown chickens, home made cakes and tea loaves, home made biscuits, jams, chutneys and marmalades – and our new line of delicious puddings.

Lowfields

Info:  Our farm shop is set in its own grounds, is ultra-modern in its furnishings and equipment, and yet reassuringly traditional in its atmosphere. Even the roof beams are steeped in history, having been rescued from the old High Level Bridge over the River Tyne at Newcastle.

New Close Farm Shop

Info:  We supply fresh, organic and where possible local, fruit, vegetables, basic ingredients such as flours, pulses and cereals, as well as other goods. We are proud of our range of organic fruit and vegetables; we usually have up to fifty different types of fruit and veg. Our range is larger than any of the local supermarkets, and, because we buy locally wherever possible and don't maintain large depots at the other end of the country, our prices are often cheaper too.
