Thorpe Farm Centre.

**Thorpe Farm Centre: Where Heritage Meets the Freshest Flavours of County Durham**

For nearly a century, Thorpe Farm Centre has been a cornerstone of Greta Bridge—a place where tradition and taste come together. Founded in 1936 by Percy Barkes, this family-run farm is now tended by his great-grandchildren, blending generations of knowledge with a commitment to quality. Here, the past isn’t just remembered; it’s tasted in every bite of their fresh, local produce.

Step into their farm shop, and you’ll find shelves stocked with the best of County Durham—seasonal vegetables, artisan goods, and pantry staples that turn meals into memories. The shop is more than a stop; it’s a celebration of the land, where every product tells a story of careful cultivation and community.

But Thorpe Farm isn’t just about what you take home. It’s about the experience. The sweeping views of the countryside invite you to slow down, while the wildlife and open spaces make it a haven for families. (Note: Wetheriggs Animal Centre is currently closed, but the farm’s natural charm remains.)

Visit for the freshest seasonal produce in County Durham. Stay for the warmth of a family legacy that’s as rich as the soil they nurture. Open at the farm shop—ready to help you fill your basket and your heart.

Come taste the difference time makes.
