So I was excited to finally visit Hackney City Farm this weekend - after 5 years of promising myself a trip.
It was a lovely Sunny Sunday, what could be better?
The farm is understandably popular with families and tourists but there was a good atmosphere in the crowd- no pushing! I was just in time for a sheep sheering demonstration although I was dubious, at first. I was worried about my woolly pal but he was completely unfazed by the whole process.
There is a also cute garden for those of you with green fingers. Along with the usual flowers and vegetables came a few unexpected items that I enjoyed hunting for.
Even my aversion to creepy crawlies was overcome by the Bug Hotel.
Conservation and education are a big part of the offer from Hackney City Farm.
I had a lovely time at Hackney City Farm, all of which was free (although donations are much appreciated). The staff were friendly and the animals were real characters, there was a particularly funny duck (maybe you had to be there). I loved the community feel of the place and will definitely be visiting again soon.
