Hackney City Farm

Hackney City Farm is an oasis in East London boasting several small paddocks, a café, deli and lots and lots of fantastic animals!

The farm was established in 1984 after locals were inspired by the opening of Kentish Town City Farm. Today the farm is an indispensable community resource that works with children, the disabled, excluded pupils and asylum seekers to help develop skills and gain experience.

Animals living at the farm include pigs, donkeys, cattle, goats, sheep, rabbits, chinchillas, rats, guinea pigs, geese, ducks and turkeys. The farm sells its own produce and hold fairs and fetes through out the year. Every day at 4pm visitors are welcome to watch the animals during feeding time, an event not to be missed!

Many daily courses and workshops take place at the farm, including stone carving, music, dance and pottery though most of these do charge an admission fee. The farm is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am till 4.30pm. Find out more about Hackney City Farm.
