Vauxhall City Farm

Vauxhall City Farm is an urban farm in London that keeps sheep, goats, pigs, and alpacas within a compact space. The site also includes gardens, an on-site shop selling handmade goods, and areas where visitors can sit and watch the animals.

The farm began in 1977 after demolitions had cleared much of the neighborhood. Growing from this community loss, it developed into a space for education and gathering.

The farm serves as a gathering place where local people bring their families to learn about where food and fibers come from. Daily work with animals and plants shows visitors how people and nature fit together in city life.

Visitors should expect to get dirty since they may interact directly with animals and soil. Sturdy shoes are recommended, and pathways are not always completely level.

A group of people at the farm card and spin wool from the sheep and alpacas into yarn. They use dyes made from vegetables grown on the farm itself to create natural colors.
