Hackney City Farm

“This is such a lovely, calm oasis in Hackney and a great opportunity for children to get close to animals. My friend and I went specifically to visit the new goats (the piglets were also an absolute delight) and if I lived closer, I'd definitely be there all the time. The animals are very used to humans, so you can get quite close to them. The goats love ear scratches and the poultry, even though you're not allowed to touch them, are quite content to wander around your legs, which is really lovely. It's very small, but very clean and great for a quick visit.”

“We recently visited this farm and absolutely loved it! 🌿🐑 The atmosphere is so warm and peaceful, and the animals are well cared for and incredibly friendly. My kids were over the moon meeting them — especially the little piglets, they were just the cutest! 🐖💛 It’s a wonderful place to spend time as a family: fresh air, a welcoming vibe, and a chance to show children what real farm life looks like. Highly recommend visiting, especially with kids.”

“I just love the fact that there's a farm in London. It is near a park, near the flower market (if you go on a Sunday). They sell good products and there's even a restaurant inside. An original idea.”

“We had a lovely trip to the farm and the kids especially had great fun. There was also a little garden just next to the farm that had a fun activity trying to find all the different objects in the garden which the kids loved. However, if you’re planning a full day trip I wouldn’t recommend this as a full day out activity as the farm was quite small. Instead there’s a kids play area just behind the farm to visit but also Victoria Park nearby which has lots of geese and boats which can be great fun. All in all loved the farm and will definitely be coming in the future! 🤍”
