The Paddock

The Paddock Family run Fruit & Veg Box Scheme, Delivery Service & Smallholding specialising in organic. Food that tastes the way it should - the way it used to!

The Paddock itself is our 6 acre smallholding based on the beautiful Northumberland/Gateshead border, which has provided the starting point for our small, family run business which aims to bring local, fresh, seasonal, homegrown, homemade and organically sourced (wherever possible) food to the doors of local people throughout Gateshead, Newcastle, County Durham and Northumberland through a deliver

y service & our farm shop! A selection of set price, fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetable boxes are available ranging in size and price as well as a good range of individually priced fruit and vegetables, giving you the flexibility to create your own box. No commitment is needed, with one off, weekly and fortnightly options available. We aim to produce what we can at The Paddock, but what we can't we source locally and organically. All our fruit and veg is grown free from chemicals and is fully traceable back to the producer! Fresh free range eggs are also available, all laid fresh by Laura's Layers, the wonderfully entertaining chickens at The Paddock and local, small scale producers! We have formed some excellent partnerships with local producers throughout Northumberland and further afield who have kindly agreed to share their wonderfully tasty produce with The Paddock. The Paddock hopes to enable you to enjoy the great taste of fresh, homegrown, free range and organically sourced produce delivered direct to your door. Check out the website for full info and to place orders for the weekly delivery service www.thepaddock.org.uk. Orders placed by Midday Friday are delivered the following Tuesday & Wednesday. Collection available from our own farm shop, and a selection of drop off points across the region. Our Farm Shop is located at 7-9 Ramsay Street, High Spen, Tyne and Wear, NE39 2EL where we stock over 800 organic, local, ethical & sustainable food, home & lifestyle options including our Plastic Free Pantry for Organic Dried Foods sold loose by weight, and our Refill Station for eco friendly, plant based cleaning products.

We are so much more than just fruit & veg, although we do love our veggies! Here's a little snapshot of some of the new products which have recently hit the website.

We are always updating the website with new lines, there's a whole section dedicated to newly added products & we update the website every Tuesday for the following week, so you have plenty of time to shop before the 11pm Sunday deadline.

Earlier this year we embarked on a BIG project to move the packing of ALL of our veg boxes home to our house in Northumberland.

We've converted an older garage which came with the house into a packing room & next we are building an outdoor covered area to extend the space.

It's another big project Mike & I are doing on weekends but it will give us lots of extra space & double up as a covered parking area when we aren't packing boxes.

This weekend we picked up these beautiful sturdy timbers for the corner posts from a local sawmill, Mike's digging the holes and I'm treating the timbers.

In the background is a second hand potting shed which will be going up behind the garage so I can bring all of the seedlings on from home before planting out at the smallholding next year! Exciting 🌱

Box Lists are online for next week & we are super proud to say that everything featuring in our boxes next week is UK grown even the fruit (excluding the obvious bananas!)

With the return of the UK apple & pear season, we have our own apples grown at the smallholding & UK melons & plums, meaning even our fruit is UK grown.

Late Summer into Autumn is my absolute favourite time for the veg boxes! Grab one while you can.

Yes, you read that right! Roddy Hall have only gone & grown UK bloody melons in Devon 🍈

Despite all the challenges this Sunmer has brought to all UK growers, that's one to be celebrated & we are delighted to have them in our boxes & available on the website as an extra this week & next!

Thanks to the wonderful folk Organic North for helping us to support a wide variety of growers across the UK.

If you fancy trying one, be sure to order by 11pm Sunday for next week.

Thank you to the team & all of our UK growers for continuing to supply the beautiful produce despite the challenging weather this Summer 🙏

If you fancy trying a veg box, we've just updated the website for next week & now is a fantastic time to start as UK 🇬🇧 produce is at it's best!

Just a little snapshot of some of the 40kg + of apples we've picked this last week! They might be small but they pack a tasty punch!

Unfortunately the yields are down on the fruit trees this year as we've had so little rain, the fruit hasn't swelled, making them much smaller! One plum tree alone came up more than 10kg short on last year's yield, but what they don't have in size, we atleast have in taste!

Expect to see them in the boxes over the coming weeks. Available to order via the website too.

Will never tire of riding through this gateway! Hope it's been a good weekend for everyone.

Little ride on Zak on Saturday and picked a load of apples for this week's veg boxes! Been so busy packing & delivering the veg boxes & keeping on top of the smallholding, we've neglected the socials a bit. Still here, and as grateful as ever for all of your orders! 🙏

Lots of photos to post 📸
