Nick Francis is a first generation farmer and set up Paddock Farm in 2009 with his brother Jon. Their initial aim was to produce the ultimate pork from native-breed free-range pigs but they’ve gone on to supply many of the country’s top chefs with a whole range of meat, eggs and vegetables. The farm uses agroecological systems to produce pasture raised Tamworth pork, Hereford cattle and super-free-range eggs, along with a market garden and productive agroforestry. All produce is sold direct through the farm’s own retail or wholesale food business.
