The best farms
- 1Nook Farm HoneyRaw honey 路 Newcastleton5 (161 reviews)Nook Farm Honey is a family run honey business at Bewcastle producing and supplying raw, unprocessed British honey. Everything is filtered and bottled at Nook Farm itself, using a gentle filter that leaves small particles of beeswax and pollen in the jar, because a finer filter would strip out some of the taste and beneficial properties. Nothing is added and nothing is taken away.
They sell eight honeys, from Cumbrian and Yorkshire Wildflower to Yorkshire Heather, Scottish Blossom, English Blossom, Balsam Flower, Borage Flower and Tree Blossom, each with its own colour and character. Order online for delivery or find them through their listed stockists.

Torpenhow Cheese CompanyRaw milk 路 Wigton3.8 (5 reviews)The Lee family milk a single herd of Jersey, Friesian and Norwegian Red cows at Park House Farm on the northern edge of the Lake District, and turn the day's organic milk into handmade cheese in a converted hay barn across the courtyard from the farmhouse. The herd grazes outside for over 300 days a year on native grasses, clovers, chicory, herbs and legumes, everything the cows eat is grown on the farm, and the pastures are mob grazed on a 28 day rotation. The cheese is certified organic and a Pasture for Life certified product.
The range runs from the award winning Park House Cheddar and the brie style Darling Howe to crumbly Trusmadoor, Binsey Red, an oak smoked cheddar and organic butter, all made by hand since 2019 and sold through the online cheese shop and local stockists. Because the milk changes with the pasture, each handmade batch varies slightly through the year.

What visitors say
I bought three jars of honey - two were a present for my sister and brother in law and one for myself. All were delicious. Lovely on toast or as a sweetener in porridge.

The owner was kind enough to leave us some food to prepare after our long hike. The room was clean, and the animal guests in the morning were very polite 馃槈 The only downside was the plastic-coated blankets, which made us sweat quite a bit.

A small artisanal cheese maker. Their cheese is excellent, in particular the Park House Cheddar. Catch them at local markets, or use their website. They are not set up as a retail outlet for visitors.
