Freightliners City Farm
Freightliners City Farm is a 2.5 acres green space in the very urban London Borough of Islington. It is a small community farm where a diverse range of people take part in farming and gardening and people can visit and spend time in a countryside type environment in the city. It is an open access space which is free at point of entry supported by donations, grants and income from farm products and services such as plant sales and corporate team challenges.
For information on farm visits see what’s on and farm health and safety guidance.
