Visited last Sunday. Had a leisurely walk around and really couldn’t fault it. Goats, donkeys, geese, pigs, chickens, sheep are just a few of the animals you can encounter here and all seem well looked after and very happy. . And there are plenty of hand washing stations so you never need to feel unhygienic! The coffee shop is also superb and popular! Do take an art course at Georgie’s studio, which is fun and relaxing…even if you have never painted since kindergarten! I absolutely adored my visit to Stepney City Farm and can’t wait to return! Six stars!!! Well done to the organizers of this very special refuge. 💥💥💥💥💥💥

We attend twice yearly volunteering and the team lead by Clare organise such a thoughtful special day mixing learning new skills, wellbeing and volunteering - it’s a very special moment in our calendars! We are so happy to support the charity and the unique support, learning and activities they provide for the local community. One of our favourite charities…

Pleasantly surprised by the experience. I’ve lived in and around the area forever but never once set foot upon the farm which has been on my doorstep. Shout out to Victoria for showing us around👍. A nice selection of animals and things to do ranging from allotments, animal petting, feeding etc. A great day out with the family or even as a corporate day out. Would recommend.
