Working as a holistic blueprint project, Hackney City Farm is using its expertise to tackle poverty and inequality alongside encouraging environmental reform. It offers an opportunity for children and adults to get up close to a range of farmyard animals and to learn about where their food comes from and why that matters.

Local young people receive both formal and informal education at the farm, volunteers from all walks of life learn and integrate and we help the community improve its local natural assets.

This year, as well as hosting over 100 school groups we are helping 10 Key Stage 4 students receive accreditation in maths,science and english. We are also a hub for a variety of environmental projects including a bike scheme and Green Ambassadors, and are home to a community choir, the Hackney Yoga project and more community projects."
