Features

Farm Shop: The shop offers 100% pure Aberdeen Angus beef, lamb, mutton, and rare breed British Saddleback pork, all grass-fed. Beef is dry-aged for 21+ days and prepared by craft butchers. Although beef and lamb are organic and grass-fed, the shop does not hold an organic butchery licence, so meat is not labelled organic. Other offerings include local and complementary products: organic milk, butter, cheese, vegetables, beers, honey, cards, and unusual gifts. A “toot and collect” contact-free service is available via phone order at 0191 3718839. Local delivery can also be arranged.
- Butchery Counter: Most products are available daily; fresh organic poultry is delivered on Tuesdays. Special orders for popular cuts like fillet steak, lamb’s liver, and brisket are recommended due to limited supply.
- Farmers Markets: Broom House Farm attends Sedgefield Village Green Farmers’ Market on the 1st Sunday of each month. Special orders can be arranged in advance.
Forest Adventure: The Forest Adventure is open on weekends and during the October half-term holiday. Tickets are released on Thursdays prior to the weekend. Entry requires a ticket for all adults and children aged 2+, and children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Activities include climbing towers, zip wires, slides, woodland tunnels, nature trails, and quizzes. Challenges cater to all ages, from dragon hunting and deer tracking to word searches and tree identification. Muddy areas are present, so stout boots, trainers, long sleeves, and trousers are recommended.
Educational Visits: Broom House Farm offers educational visits for groups 5 miles west of Durham. The working organic farm focuses on sheep, beef cattle, pork, eggs, and arable production. Hands-on experiences provide outdoor learning about modern farming and the countryside-food relationship.
Animals that can be seen include hens, goats, pigs, ducks, sheep, and cows, though animal petting is not allowed and visitors are requested not to feed any animals.
