Hackney City Farm. Join me and the animals in this delightful East London oasis of calm.

Hackney City Farm is a lovely opportunity for us city folk to find out a bit about country living, which is not actually something I'm unfamiliar with as I was brought up in Norfolk. Open for over 35 years, it's quite calm once you enter the farm, and it's hard to believe that you're only feet away from the dulcet, horn-blaring London tones of Hackney Road.

Come and take a walk in my shoes and we'll visit goats, sheep, donkeys and a sow and her brood of a dozen piglets. We'll also get to see ducks, geese, chickens, and a couple of large cocks.😉 Apparently, the animals are rotated and stay at this farm and a farm in Kent, and next to the farm is a lovely, peaceful garden housing apple, pear and plum trees, as well as vegetables and herbs. They keep bees and there is also a bug hotel here!

Their café, named Frizzante, is styled on the Italian tradition of agriturismo; where the food is grown and produced on the premises. This farm is not actually large enough to supply the restaurant, but their food is sourced from local, small suppliers.

This farm is a hidden gem and then some!
