On January 29, 2026, Brocksbushes Farm Shop launched its 2026 Valentine’s range, targeting residents in Washington, Tyne and Wear and the wider North East. The update includes a premium three-course “Dine-In for Two” meal kit aimed at at-home date nights, plus a signature takeaway Afternoon Tea that people can collect from the shop. These offers give local couples more ways to buy meals made with ingredients sourced directly from the farm.
The takeaway Afternoon Tea boxes are designed for one person and include a sandwich, a pastry, a choice of scone, a homemade sponge cake and a traybake, all produced by the farm’s kitchen. The Valentine’s dine-in meal kit features meat from the shop’s on-site butchery and dishes prepared by the Courtyard Kitchen team. Several new bakery items and frozen ready-meals have also been added to the online shop for customers to browse.
These new options follow a major expansion in 2024, when the business moved into a larger, purpose-built building (opening in summer 2024) that increased space for the Farm Shop, Courtyard Kitchen, butchery and deli. Local coverage of the redevelopment and the new facilities is available in regional outlets such as Chronicle Live and AppetiteMag, which describe the enlarged shop, expanded butchery and deli, and the new Play Barn and function space.
Washington residents can pre-order these seasonal items through the farm’s website for collection from the deli counter; local delivery availability varies by product and should be checked on the relevant product page. Visit Northumberland describes Brocksbushes as a well‑loved destination for fresh, local produce, and the Valentine’s range is being promoted for pre-order into mid‑February.
