Hackney City Farm

Although it's easy to get preoccupied with the cats and chickens , make sure you head to the back to make friends with the sheep and runner ducks.

The cutest actual farm in the middle of Hackney. Local cafe is powered by whatever grows in their garden , and the eggs you get with any breakfast option were probably laid exactly that very morning

This hippie communal garden and farm is perfect to stroll through with a hot coffee and get back in touch with nature, or at least take a few farm selfies. Read more

Terrific gem hidden away in the depths of East London! A few short steps of the street and you are truly transported into a garden of relaxation! Wonderful place to visit...

Lovely little place just off Columbia Rd. And the nearby restaurant is great as well (Frizzante )

Walk through the Columbia Road Flower Market and end with a nice brunch at Hackney City Farm, perfect on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The aromatic garden is amazing and the pigs HUGE.

Visit the Art and Craft Market held bi-monthly on the first Sunday. Feb, April, June, August, October, December. Handmade products by local people. Ms Cat the organiser is very helpful and welcoming.

If you arrive later on in the day, the animals will be in their enclosures , rather than in the field , but you can still say hi to them :3

Ceramics on Wednesday and Thursday evenings is a lot of fun. £15 and BYOB . Everything you need is provided.

There's brilliant Italian cafe-style food in Frizzante , the restaurant in the farm . The enclosed garden is great for picnics in the summer and there are pottery classes for adults and children, plus

Their Frizzante Caf is a huge draw in itself, with fresh, homemade dishes like rabbit terrine , pappardelle with pork ragu , and steamed trout . Read more

Definitely drop in if you're in the area. Cute garden and even cuter lambs .

Great place for an alternative central london visit!

The actual farm unsurprisingly stinky but worth the visit and there is an adorable garden full of flowers . Food is definitely overpriced though.

Stop in the cafe . Make sure to see the field animals. And pick up some fresh veg if you'd like. Great Sunday afternoon activity. Read more

This place never fails to deliver for portion size, taste and value. Not going to be a quiet affair with lots of kids but well worth digging out.

Really fun little place that serves awesome brunch

Me and my son love it.also the food is delicious

Great place to bring kids. Lovely local city farm .

It's true - watching the goats , sheep, donkeys and ducks graze all day perks you right up.

One of the best brunches in East London!

The farmer breakfast is great! Bacon is cooked perfectly.. One of the best in london.

Canadian brunch is a must! I had a extra bacon because I'm greedy :)

Amazing English breakfasts and sandwiches . Sunday mornings, coffee , hangover, fry-up, what more can you want?

They are misleading about opening times. Arrived at 4pm on Saturday and they were already trying to chuck everybody out

Great place!

Say hi to the goats !

Small place, pop in if nearby.

Love the donkeys !

Lovely little farm - cafe food not that great.

Even the ducks have man-buns!

The ducks are very rapey ????

Also check out Bike Yard East - a really friendly bike repair place located within the farm . Not that cheap mind...

Visit a functional farm inside the city . Read more

Cats can get a bit grumpy.

Coffee & board specials ????

Great local resource but avoid Cafe - strictly for the yummy mummies and the agriturismo is an insult to the real italian version. Overpriced

Lovely afternoon walk down hackney road !

Very entertaining ducks.... and cool goats too

You have to go look at the pair of giant ginger pigs .. Oink!

Lovely guinea pigs .

Check out the sows. They're ginormous! Read more

Great fry up breakfast . Also veggie if you don't feel like eating the pig you petted

A brilliant breakfast . Perfect hangover fodder

Just paid a POUND for an extra slice of bread . ONE slice. Even for these parts of town that is Crasyly over price. Food not worth the price

Eating the pig I just petted
