Vegetables

We are a family run traditional greengrocer. We have been established just over two years. The village of Dipton had seen a decline in retail outlets over the last few years, our aim when we opened was to turn this trend around, providing the local community with a retail outlet which would enable them to have easy access to a wide selection of high quality fresh fruit and vegetables.

We are Amy, Julian, Valentina and Fiona.
Established in the summer of 2012, our co-operative Community Interest Company puts local surplus fruit and vegetables to good use, and increases access and availability of fruit and vegetables in the community.

Free range hen, duck and goose eggs, and outdoor reared pork, sold at local farmers markets and local retail
outlets. Also a walled garden where salad and vegetable crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce are grown.

A new green venture working towards an eco friendly way of living with organic, local and green thinking at the heart of everything we do. Bread and pizzas are made daily in our wood fired oven, and we serve simple rustic dishes made with local, organic and seasonal ingredients, all cooked fresh to order using traditional cooking methods.

We pride ourselves on the professional service our customers receive. 90% of produce sold in our shop is sourced from within a 20 mile radius. We stock a range of locally sourced produce including, beers and wines, jams and preserves, cheeses, milk, ice cream, honey, winter veg and homemade charcuterie. We also sell homemade cakes and desserts.

New Close Farm Shop has a great range of local, organic and traditional produce and goods.  We produce our own fruit and vegetables as well as sourcing from local and organic sources.  We also produce, or locally source, traditional breeds of beef, pork and lamb as well as free-range poultry and it's all processed in our own butchery.  We make our own sausages, burgers, bacon, etc.

Lowfields Farm Shop and Cafe offers the perfect destination for a day trip out for the family. Whilst mum may browse around the shop stocked with our own beef, pork, lamb and local vegetables, dad may relax reading the newspapers provided, whilst the children can play outside on the adventure playground.

The farm shop and cafe are situated just three miles west of Darlington, on an old medieval village site which once hosted a Time Team visit. There is a permissive route through the buried medieval village where people can stroll and see our rare breeds of traditional cattle. We also have a play area for children and tractor and trailer rides can be arranged for groups.

An organic plant nursery, RHS teaching centre and Bed and Breakfast, also serving afternoon teas 100% baked on site with local produce. Open all year. Situated in south Durham, 3 miles north of Hardwick Country Park, 7 miles south east of Durham city. Gardens open for Red Cross in May and August.

There is an enclosed play area, a way-marked farm trail and lots of dog walks - all free for our customers.
