About Us

Welcome to New Moor Farmhouse

Pleased to meet you… In 1953, the Thorogood family moved to New Moor Farm with the ambition to grow fresh vegetables to support their wholesale business in Covent Garden Market. Over 70 years, and 3 generations later, they’re still there, growing and supplying asparagus to top London restaurants and markets from their 700-acre farm. 

New Moor Farmhouse has been home to three generations of the Thorogood family, most recently Mark and Abi, along with their 2 children, 3 dogs, guinea pigs, chickens, peacocks, goats and a roaming Shetland pony. Having hosted many family celebrations over the years, Mark and Abi decided to open up their home and gardens for other families to enjoy and make lasting memories.
