About Us
Kentish Town City Farm is a local charity that helps city people connect with animals, nature and the environment. The farm is situated on a four-acre site, alongside two railway lines in the inner London Borough of Camden. There are animal pasture areas, community gardens, a wildlife pond, and a riding arena which is presently being redeveloped.
What we do
We provide an extensive educational programme to schools, work experience opportunities for students and farm & garden related activities for local children and families. This work is supported by the London Borough of Camden.
In addition, we have a lively core of volunteers who support staff in the day-to-day running of the farm and organise seasonal fundraising events. Young people between 8 -16 years support farm activities through our popular Young Farmers Club.
The main farm building provides facilities for visiting schools, community groups and children’s activities. In the farm kitchen, children can learn to cook using fresh ingredients from our community gardens. The gardens provide opportunities for neighbourhood & therapeutic horticultural projects and for children to learn about wildlife & growing food.
We provide amenities to visiting corporate teams and host private events. The indoor and outdoor spaces of the farm are available for hire all year round.
Eco Statement
Here at Kentish Town City Farm we care about how our work impacts on the environment. We try to balance our programmes and activities with our green spaces, providing dedicated areas that cultivate biodiversity with a site wide approach that recognises the need for people and places to be interconnected. Where possible we include environmental learning in our work and promote our own and others working practices to encourage our community to do the same.

A Rich History
Kentish Town City Farm was formed in 1972 becoming the first City Farm to be established in the UK. Since the beginning the farm ethos was based on inclusiveness and participation of the local community which remain at the heart of our values today.
We have a great online archive which describes our rich history and hosts a collection of vintage photos, video & audio files. You’ll find interviews by local people, volunteers and staff who tell the fascinating story of the farm’s 50 years starting with its radical community arts roots in 1970’s London.
