Kentish Town City Farm

Kentish Town City Farm is an educational and recreational project that developed out of the needs of local people. Entrance is free but we rely on visitors donations for the upkeep of the animals. So please do stop at the post box and make a donation.

Children, young people and adults are actively encouraged to participate in all aspects of animal care, from mucking out to helping with feeds and site maintenance.The farm has a stock of chickens, cows, ducks, geese, goats, horses, pigs and sheep. Some of the animals are rare breeds and they are are used to being touched by everyone! Located amidst dense local authority housing in North London the Farm covers four and half acres. It is a reasonable facsimile of a small farm or smallholding. As such, it has had a breeding programme over a number of years. The Farm has a classroom, under 5's activity room, a training room, fitted kitchen, stables, gardens and seating areas. It also has disabled access including hard paths and decks throughout. The basis and thinking behind the programme is wholly educational. The Farm is NOT a zoo for farm animals, nor is it a museum piece. The primary aim of the farm is to address the educational and recreational needs of local people with special emphasis being placed on children and young people. With its organic garden, active breeding programme, ever-evolving range of animals, pony rides (at the weekends, weather permitting), activities and school tours, the 4.5 acre Kentish Town City Farm simply bursts with life, vibrancy and energy. There are regular workshops and activities - the farm even has its own classroom - aimed at the under 5's and at children up to 14 years old, some of which are free and run on a drop-in basis. After school clubs include pottery and cookery workshops where all ages are welcome and there are holiday and weekend activities too. Adult riding and lessons are also available during the week, daytime only. There's always plenty to do down on the farm from feeding the animals to mucking out the stables and volunteers are welcomed. Guaranteed to brighten your day.
