A Farm In The City
Twenty years ago the task to turn a debris strewn croft into a little green oasis in the middle of an inner city area began. Developed with assistance from the Local Authority and the Private Sector and with the help of lots of hardworking local volunteers the site was turned from a local dumping ground into a pleasant community facility. After more hard work getting enclosures and outbuildings habitable the farm was eventually ready to accept it’s first animals.

Twenty years on and the farm is still going and it is hoped it will keep on surviving for many more years.

Opening times
Monday to Friday 9am - 2pm

Sunday 10am - 2pm

Group visits can be arranged by appointment. We would like to open for longer hours but cannot until we get more volunteers
