About
The Paddock Project is a working market garden, farm stall and café on Argyle Street in Mullumbimby, in the Byron hinterland. It grows seasonal fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers using syntropic (chemical-free) farming, and is SXC organic certified — no synthetic chemicals and no GMOs. The roadside stall sells the day's harvest, and a kiosk serves barista-made coffee and chai.
It's also a social enterprise: the project is known for inclusive, NDIS-supported employment for people with disabilities, community programs, workshops and a weekly Wednesday jam with live music. The honey listed in directory data sits alongside the garden's fresh produce.
