Paradise Farm Organics - Who We Are

The Organic Approach

Ancestors of the Hudson family have been farming in this area since the 19th century. In more recent times they have used conventional farming methods changing from dairy farmers to cereal producers. The shift to organic farming has brought new challenges and opportunities.

Paradise Farm Organics was set up in 2005 by Richard Hudson and Catherine Bell. Richard left the UK in 1998 unmotivated by the state of the agricultural industry and the routines of spray, fertilise and spray again. After several years working as English teachers abroad they have returned to set up this organic business with the new addition to their family, Oliver.

Paradise Farm, certified Organic in 2001, has provided them with a unique opportunity to work in beautiful surroundings whilst producing a wide variety of food to deliver to the local area.

The farm is managed with conservation as a top priority, the suitably named Paradise Farm (yes... that's the original name!) provides not only the fertile land required for growing vegetables successfully, but also a rich and varied habitat for wildlife which is actively encouraged by the farming methods.
