Hackney City Farm

Hackney City Farm is a day out for the whole family with lots to see and do. Get close to farmyard animals and experience life on the farm without even leaving the city. The farmyard and peaceful gardens are open to visitors throughout the year, allowing you to see and interact with a variety of farmyard animals like ponies, sheep, pigs, and chickens. There are regular volunteering opportunities too if you want to spend more time on the farm.

It’s not just the grounds and animal residents of the farm that visitors can enjoy. Relax during your visit with a meal at Frizzante Café, offering farm-to-table Italian cuisine, including breakfast. You can also participate in a varied range of classes and workshops at Hackney City Farm. Try out a creative session like pottery, woodworking, or art classes for both children and adults. There are also regular bike maintenance workshops. If you’re planning a special event, you can take advantage of the attractive grounds and hire spaces on the farm for your celebration.

Hackney City Farm is also committed to access to sustainable food for the community. Top off your visit with a trip to the farm shop, a sustainable packaging-free initiative offering pulses, nuts, grains, pasta, oils, and eggs. Don’t forget to bring containers to take your purchases home with you. Tinned and jarred products are also available here. Local residents can arrange a fruit and veg subscription box or sustainable fish boxes to collect from the farm shop.
