Our Shop will be closed on Good Friday

Opening Hours: Tuesday to Friday 9am to 4pm
Location: Farm Shop at HMP Northumberland

Opened in summer 2023, our Farm Shop sits just outside the grounds of HMP Northumberland in a publicly accessible building. Here you’ll find:

  • Fresh produce from our prison Market Garden
  • Beautiful plants cultivated by serving prisoners
  • Delicious sandwiches, cakes, and bread from our Cafe 16 bakery
  • Refreshing hot and cold drinks
  • Locally made ice cream and other regional specialties

While we prioritize using produce from our Market Garden, we occasionally supplement with goods from local suppliers when direct prison-to-shop delivery isn’t possible.

More Than Just Shopping

Every purchase at our Farm Shop directly supports rehabilitation and gives second chances. Your shopping basket becomes a powerful tool for positive change, helping individuals build skills, confidence and routes to employment. All proceeds fund our educational programs, vocational training and post-release support—creating safer communities by breaking the cycle of reoffending.

There are many ways to support Growing Out:

  • Visit our Farm Shop Tuesday-Friday, 10am-4pm
  • Volunteer your time and talents
  • Spread the word about our work in the community
  • Place direct orders for plants, produce, or baked goods

By partnering with us, you help transform lives and nurture potential. Together, we are cultivating opportunities that grow well beyond prison walls.
