Hackney City Farm, which has been in operation for more than two decades, was established with the intention of providing the urban community with the chance to experience the genuine farming lifestyle without leaving the city. Both adults and children will enjoy the chance to gain a firsthand experience of the lovable farm animals, and look at, smell and even plant common vegetables, as well as other familiar food plants.
Amongst the objectives of the farm, one is to provide city dwellers with new skills that they would otherwise have no knowledge of, thereby promoting a happier, healthier lifestyle with a lower adverse impact on the environment. As you might expect, the farm features quite a number of typical farmyard animals. Larry, the donkey is a popular attraction, and his distinctive bray is a well-known sound at the farm. Meanwhile, you will also see Saddleback and Tamworth pigs with their distinctive colouring, as well as attractive Golden Guernsey goats. A number of sheep are also to be seen, with the young lambs scampering about in the springtime being a highlight. Other attractive denizens of the farmyard include guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks and geese, all of which visitors can admire from up close.
Visitors can rejuvenate themselves at the excellent cafe, operated by Frizzante, which offers delectable and healthy foods. The farm is also a great place to relax and spend a few leisurely hours, as it is an inviting and meticulously maintained establishment. You can purchase fresh chicken and duck eggs, honey and vegetables, as well as mementos of your visit at the shop on the premises. In addition to organizing various courses as well as sessions for volunteers, the farm also promotes numerous other community groups and social initiatives. It aspires to be a major impetus for conservation of the environment and is committed to organising projects for the benefit of the local community.
With all of its attractions a visit to Hackney City Farm is sure to be a rewarding experience. Affluent travellers looking for a luxury hotel London will be pleased by The Halkin London which is a luxury boutique hotel London offers that spoils its guests with
