Farmed Out To Spitalfields

Hidden in the heart of East London is possibly the cutest community farm in the world.

Spitalfields City Farm is just a short walk from Brick Lane, located in one of the most deprived and densely populated wards of Tower Hamlets.

The farm’s current livestock includes chickens (ex-batter hens), pigs, cows, donkeys and a pony.

It was set up in 1978 by volunteers, and to this day the farm relies on volunteers to maintain the gardens and animals.

The farm also welcomes all donations, which can be made in person, at the farm; or via the website http://www.spitalfieldscityfarm.org/donate

To my mind, there is nothing quite like stroking ponies with a view of the city behind them. Emma Brand
