Simply Yummy cakes are baked from the family farm kitchen, here in Norton, Stockton on Tees. I have been baking for family and friends as long as I can remember, but just recently decided to 'go for it' officially !We are Registered with Stockton Borough Council as a business, and our kitchen has a 5 star rating. Working from our family kitchen, we proudly sell cakes to a local cafe, provide cakes for Cafe Concerts at Middlesbrough Town Hall, a Bar/Cafe in Yarm, and Kings Cafe on Norton High Street and to the general public. We cater for small and large events from a tea party through to birthday surprises and everything else in-between!

Spicymonkey is a small business run by Ian Nixon with a lot of help from his wife Gemma and some help from other poor family members who get caught up in it all. We develop all our own recipes, many of which have been inspired by our travels all over the world. We use fresh ingredients, we grind all our own spices and spend hours peeling, chopping and cooking to make our huge delicious range.

Oakdene Woodcraft is a self started business that blossomed out of my hobby for wood turning. I can make many items, but you can also request your own, or add alterations to existing ones if you wish. I aim to please and I'm a friendly face, so don't hesitate to ask me any questions at all!

We breed, rear and sell our own 100% pure Aberdeen Angus Beef, Lamb, Mutton and Rare Breed British Saddleback Pork, hams, sausages and bacon. All our beef and lamb is properly hung and prepared, with great attention to detail. This is the place to shop if you value the best flavoured beef, lamb and pork in County Durham! Broom House Farm Butchery & Farm Shop is on our organic family run farm in the Browney Valley overlooking Durham City, just 6 miles to the west of the City Centre.

Village Farm Dairy is set in 240 acres near Sedgefield, County Durham, a family farm run by Neil & Carol Peacock. The dairy herd consists of 120 Holstein /Friesian cows all of which were all born on the farm. The family are passionate about herd welfare which ensures consistent high quality milk and every cow is known by name and family history. After many months of extensive research and planning Neil & Carol decided to diversify into handmade artisan cheese made using their own farm assured milk. The fresh morning’s milk is piped no further than 20 feet from the milking parlour into the cheese vat in the new purpose build cheese dairy, where cheesemaking begins. All of the cheeses are fully traceable with handling and packing done on the farm – the only food miles are incurred at delivery stage. Carol has spent most of her career teaching cookery as well as helping out on the farm. She attended agricultural College in Cheshire to learn the art of cheesemaking under the expert eye of Christine Ashby and has spent many months since perfecting her cheeses.. This is very much a family business – Neil milks the cows , Carol makes the cheese with children Joe and Georgia helping out on weekends and school holidays. Our cheese can be found in local farm shops, delis, hotels and restaurants.
