The Paddock Farm Shop, Mathry
Born out of a preserve counter at the family pub, today The Paddock is now a fully fledged farm shop in a custom-built premise. It all started with local foodie Anne-Marie Harries, who decided to sell her homemade jam, chutney, and other preserves at her family pub. The result? They all sold out, and Anne-Marie was back in the kitchen turning her hobby into a business.
Today, she makes over 25 different varieties of jams, marmalades, and chutneys. It's no surprise to hear she's even won awards for them! Whatever you do, be sure to pick up a pot of cheeky chilli jam, plus the rhubarb and ginger jam is a delight on toast.
