The farm's location plays a big influence in how we run it. The Coquet Valley is one of the National Park's true treasures - and not by accident either.

Intensive farming practices aren't seen up the valley and we abide by that unwritten rule shared amongst the tightly knit community.

The terrain, topography and geology of the landscape make arable farming a bit of a proverbial nightmare. Many of the farms rely heavily on their hill sheep flocks, cattle and pigs.

Thankfully at Newton we don't have the extreme slopes that those up the Valley have to contend with meaning we can keep an easier eye on how our animals are doing in our grass fields.

They are born and raised on this farm. We use husbandry that puts less stress on the animals and allows them to roam about in a large abundance of free space where the air must be some of the freshest in Britain.

Its always busy here. While pictures of the "Good Life" may be conjured in one's head it isn't quite that cosy. There's always animals to feed, make sure their field is still in good condition, not to mention telephones orders for our meat.

However, this is what keeps us focused. By being focused we'll never forget our values and always offer a high quality, traditional product.
