OUR STORY


North Acomb Farm has a rich heritage and committed family stewardship, where we've been proudly serving high-quality, locally-produced foods since 1978 from our family-run farm in Northumberland.

North Acomb Farm in the heart of the Tyne Valley

Robin and Caroline Baty manage a traditional, bustling, family run farm.

Home to the Baty family since 1936, it’s almost 50 years since Caroline decided to put up a sign on the A69 to sell some surplus free range hens’ eggs, and lo and behold the farm shop was born!

Originally operating from their back door porch, it wasn’t long before the demand expanded to include green top milk and cream, sparked by customers observing their dairy herd. This led to a broadening range of fresh products, encompassing cakes, scones, and gradually, meats. Robin, with the aid and expertise of two seasoned butchers from the wholesale meat industry, honed his butchery skills. Customer demands inspired him to master various meat cuts and formulate his signature sausage and black pudding seasoning. Over the years, North Acomb Farm has flourished, broadening its offerings to include an extensive range of meats, baked goods, and more, attracting a devoted clientele from nearby and beyond.

The establishment proudly holds memberships in the Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society, Guild of Master Craftsmen, the National Federation of Meat and Food Traders, and FARMA.

In addition to its acclaimed produce, North Acomb offers premium livery services for horses and has recently extended its offering with the North Acomb Food Trailer, a delicious catering option you can hire for events.
