Community Farms are so wonderful! Seeing the kids interacting with the animals, and lockdown babies seeing their first goat or sheep was pretty special!
Everyone seems to benefit from a breath of nature and fresh air in the City.
Spitalfields Farm is a really special place. Definitely go and check out their website!

The animals look happy and well-nourished. If I’m ever in London again….. Thanks for this posting.

The animals looking so healthy and happy is testament to the very hard work of the staff and volunteers during such difficult times. It must have come as a great relief that the farm can now open to visitors and earn some revenue, and clearly the visitors are very happy to be back. Warm wishes to all.

Who would have expected to find such lovely spots as the farm and St. Bride’s churchyard in the heart of East London? Give Holmes the pig a scratch behind the ears for me!

You can see it in the animals, how comfortable they feel.

I also live on the outskirts of the city, but very rural: we have our farmer and a farm store next door. I am very happy to have such an environment!

Love & Peace
ACHIM
