The Paddock

The Give Where You Live Foundation owns and manages The Paddock, a 7 acre community farm in Leopold.  The Foundation proudly retains the property as a community asset and supports the learning and employment pathway opportunities it provides.

The Paddock is a key initiative of the Foundation and a Social Traders certified social enterprise. It is an inclusive and accessible community space, featuring a thriving plant nursery, and producing vegetables, fruits and handcrafted woodwork.

With a long term vision for The Paddock to be a place of community connection, the Foundation is also working to use the farm as a place of learning and to grow food for the local food relief system, helping to strengthen community resilience and food security.
