What is The Paddock?
Est. in 2013, The Paddock is a family run fruit & veg box scheme, delivery service & smallholding specialising in organic & environmentally friendly local produce with ethics at the heart of everything we do. We believe in an open and honest policy about how our food is produced, the miles it has travelled, the packaging it comes in & the impact it has on our environment.
The Paddock has been inspired by our family smallholding, named The Paddock, based on the beautiful Northumberland border. The Paddock is run by Laura & Mike who met in 2013 & bonded over their shared love of the outdoors & passion for the environment. Meet the Family.
We offer educational workshops & gardening services centred around sustainable food production.
We work in partnership with The Organic Pantry to operate our delivery service. The Organic Pantry are a certified organic, family run farm near Tadcaster, North Yorkshire. Together we can deliver a carefully selected range of ethical produce direct to your door throughout Gateshead, Newcastle, Durham, Northumberland & Tyneside on fully refrigerated vans. You can leave donations of tins & dried goods out for your driver to collect when they deliver. These will be redistributed to a local food bank. All of the team who support The Paddock are paid a Living Wage & The Organic Pantry are a certified Living Wage Employer.
At our 6.5 acre smallholding, we aim to grow as much as we can & supply free range eggs from our own happy hens, Laura's Layers. Everything is grown organically but we are not certified. The produce from our smallholding is more limited in availability, so please contact us for further information or if you wish to order. We hope to be able to bring you some Paddock Only Produce boxes later in 2025, along with visits to the Smallholding. Register your interest by reaching out via email.
We are really proud to be a recognised member of the Better Food Traders Network. Better Food Traders is a UK-wide network that supports and promotes ethical food retailers who sell locally grown, planet friendly food. Together we'll make the food system better for people & planet. You can read more about what it means to be a Better Food Trader here.
