Martin and Richard have responsibility for growing the following crops: Wheat – grown for a variety of uses including the Scottish whiskey market and the newly opened Ensus plant on Teeside where it is used in the production of Ethanol, which is one of main ingredients in bio-fuel production. |

|
Oilseed rape - transported to either Hull or Liverpool and is used for the production of cooking oil. Due to government legislation concerning greener road fuels all diesel must contain 5% green fuel by 2010, this means that some of our rape is now going to companies such as Greenergy to satisfy this market. |

About us
Murton Moor Farm is a family run farm situated 5 miles east of picturesque Durham city. The business has grown from 200 acres in the 1970’s to approximately 650 acres of arable land plus a further 3000 acres of agricultural contracting on farms all over county Durham.
In 1999 Judith introduced a flock of 150 free-range KellyBronze turkeys to the business. The flock has then steadily increased over the years and we now rear and process 700 birds of which there are 550 KellyBronze turkeys and 150 free-range geese which are collected from the farm gate on the two days preceding Christmas.
