Farm Shop in County Durham

This is a great organic farm shop. We have rejected supermarkets and chosen to buy from independent shops, which makes this a brilliant place for us. The fresh fruit and vegetables are top quality and buying here means that we also generate virtually no plastic waste or even plastic recycling. Ecover refills are available, along with other eco-friendly cleaning and household products. Their own organic products, whether fresh or frozen, are excellent - we love the soups. The beef and chicken are also absolutely top notch. The friendly and helpful staff are also to be commended.

Nice little farm shop with general grocery and coffee area, nothing over the top but pleasant, nice service

Called in on the way through Piercebridge. Very convenient farm shop and post office stocking most things that anyone would want.

the meat, especially the chicken, are streets away from the usual supermarket offering. the café too is well worth a visit.

This shop is a haven for all those Organic items you need. The farm eggs and chicken are great not to mention all the wonderful homemade cakes and biscuits, such a temptation! The staff are so helpful and the post office is a life saver

We visited Piercebridge and the Roman Fort and the Farm Shop by the Village Green was an ideal stop off for Lunch and would thoroughly recommend it for anyone passing through the Village - the food was lovely

We always call here for organic milk and eggs and are usually tempted by the selection of produce and home baking, especially the chocolate brownies! The cafe has a good range of drinks and eats and the staff are always pleasant.

Decent choice of cake, tray-bakes and hot drinks. We stopped on our way home for a drink and toasted tea-cake. The latter was full of flavour and served hot and buttered, what more would you want?

Called here during the week with a friend. I had a piece of coffee cake which was very nice. This is a handy place to catch up with friends over a piece of cake and a cuppa

Came to shop for organic milk for kefir and came away with bacon, eggs, yoghurt, a paper, a card, a candle for my wife's bday and no milk. Oops. Nice wee shop, all organic if you're into that kind of thing. Comes at a premium price wise though. Staff helpful.

I had a very tasty vegan meal here and the staff were able to advise me on content. My meal here was very enjoyable in the relaxing atmosphere of the little café behind the shop.

Well located, easily accessible, with its own parking space. Good breakfast and fresh scones. Local food products available at the adjacent shop.

we stopped for coffee and could not resist buying some free range meat which was delicious if you travel along the road to the shop you can see all the animals running around the fields especially the hens

Stopped en route from Leicestershire to Northumberland. Had a lovely break in such a pretty location. Walked round the roman fort remains and the bridge footings before lunch of fresh produce with wonderful service and atmosphere. Good shop too. So much nicer than the A1, so refreshing.

Great shop,( the organic eggs are the best I have ever tasted ), great cafe, great service and great location, lovely walk round village and fort.

Lovely walk along the Tees culminating in the most fabulous cake and coffee. Plus well stocked farm shop with really good prices for organic produce and very local.

Stopped here a couple of times for lunch en route between Yorkshire and Northumberland. Welcoming staff, excellent food, comfortable cafe with a box of cushions for use at the tables and a well stocked small shop of local produce. Would certainly head for here again on future trips.

We had an excellent cup of tea, flapjack and shortbread.The staff were really friendly. They were just about to close but made us welcome and I was impressed to watch how well everything was cleaned.The organic meat and homemade soups land cakes looked stunning. All organically reared and cooked on the farm.

A shop and cafe with a great selection of organic foods.Situated in a beautiful village between Darlington and Gainford.

Our first visit was excellent staff all very friendly service excellent extensive menu of quality food

In spite of having the cakes Etc in a display cabinet you queue along with people ordering cooked food. They take your order, a slip is then placed in order with the cooked food, (you are not able to collect this on a tray) You sit down and wait, and wait, and wait! 15 mins: to bring two coffees and two tray bakes.When leaving, you queue again to pay. One person on the till, eight people in the queue, a second person came to the till, but immediately went away to take a delivery- so 10 mins: to pay.The food and coffee were average, but the service is pathetic.

Poor service, getting ready to close an hour and 20 mins before stated closing time, felt rushed and unwelcome.

Not bad. Was very expensive, though (over £3 for cheese on toast) and there were an awful lot of flies buzzing around. I counted six in our corner of the room. It was very distracting. That and the price put me off ordering any food.

We were plesantly suprised when we stummbled accross this lovely little farm shop and cafe and overjoyed when we were told that soya milk was on offer as two members of our family are dairy free due to health problems.Whilst waiting for our tea to arrive a member of staff approached us to inform us that we needed to pay extra if we wanted the soya milk. Now seeing that we had already paid for our drinks in advance we found this this attitude to be most unproffesional and off putting.Luckily we had a carton of soya milk with us and so we refused to pay the extra and used our own.How much extra would we have needed to pay I don't know but surely this attitude was unneccessary. We had intended to buy some of the shops produce after having our tea but we left vowing not to return.Perhaps we are due a refund for the cows milk they saved!!
