With our facts and all of these birds strutting about the place, the kids will be avian experts in no time.

Be sure to check out the droopy ivy dangling down over the chicken coop. There’s something enchanting about it.

Decorative plantlife enhances the beauty of the city farm and contributes a unique floral twist.

Encouraging creativity, Hackney City Farm regularly holds pottery classes that guests are welcome to attend.

Although potters are welcome to collect their artisanal creations, plenty of them have been left behind, enhancing the arty aura of the place.

A day on the farm can make for hungry work – but don’t fret, Frizzante has it covered.
