Hackney City Farm has a range of farmyard animals including goats, sheep, chickens and a donkey as well as some small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs.
Our livestock are on rotation with a farm in Kent, and spend some time in the city and some on the working farm in the country.
Our chickens and ducks lay eggs daily, which can be purchased in our shop, alongside the honey from our bees.
Pigs
We have two Tamworth (ginger) pigs and a new Saddleback sow called Biddy, who has 11 piglets!

Donkeys
Larry has been at the farm for many years now and he is the star of the show, often doing filming and visits to Westiminster Abbey. He has been joined by Clover, who is being trained to pull a cart.
