One of the oldest community farms in the city of Bristol. Located just east of St Paul's and the centre of Bristol, this city farm is a haven of peace and tranquility. The site is surrounded by allotment land and residential streets and makes a very welcome green oasis for the community. As can be expected, the farm animals are the main attraction. They vary from time to time and include ducks, geese, pigs, goats, rabbits and more.


The farm has a long tradition of breeding its own litters each year and the many young farm animals are a great source of amusement and learning for the many young farm visitors. The farm is particularly popular with local families and the local schools. It also has some very nice facilities aimed specifically at local youngsters, including an adventure play ground, activity packs, guided tours and a youth club.

Although looking a little bit 'tired', most of the farm buildings are in good shape and the site is well maintained. The surrounding allotments complement the laid-back and almost rural feel of the place. The farm cafe is a great place to shelter from the elements and to eat some nice, home-cooked food and snacks. Sitting at a rugged table by one of the large windows, enjoying a large hot chocolate and enjoying the pretty scene outside is a real treat!
