You can browse around their beautifully refurbished shop and feast your eyes upon a wonderful selection of gifts and greetings cards. Well worth a visit for inspirational gifts both in the food department and the gift rooms.

The Reclamation Barn has been busy too sourcing reclaimed products and has some really different pieces on sale, again well worth a browse to treat either yourself, your home or as a gift.

For those of you with a dog the recently planted Teesdale Heritage Wood is growing well and is a pleasurable place to walk. This is a community woodland project, sponsored by the Forestry Commission and consists of 8 acres of native hard wood trees. The woodland walks are free and open to the public to explore at any time and are dog friendly! On a fine day you can see right up Teesdale. The walk meanders through the paddocks now housing the animals from the park, donkeys, ponies and llamas, so why not go for a walk and enjoy the scenery and the animals, it is all free access.

Make Thorpe Farm your stop on the A66 for fresh food, fresh coffee, fresh ideas and fresh clean air!
