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. |
