Brendon North

Owner of Paradise Fresh and Farmer Bros

Brendon and Vicki North commenced farming in 1999 growing lettuce, herbs and Asian vegetables in a hydroponic system and selling this produce at their store in Tamworth, NSW.

They have now multiple stores in Tamworth, providing wholesale supply to cafes, restaurants, pubs, clubs, nursing homes and schools in North West NSW.

Additionally Paradise Fresh has also diversified its gourmet grocer concept to include deli products and fresh seafood.

Brendon’s latest initiative was identifying with his family what they would like to do together and that has formed their bucket list.
