This inner city site was used as a farm as far back as the early 1800s when fresh produce was grown here to feed the people of the city. Hackney City Farm was home to West's brewery from late 1880 until the 1930s, supplying beer to its own public houses in Hackney Road and nearby Bethnal Green, as well as a variety of businesses from furniture makers to button manufacturers and a haulage company. But it returned to its function as a farm in 1984 and now houses small petting animals, calves, sheep, pigs, Amber the goat and Larry the donkey - who starred in a nativity parade at Westminster Abbey. Come lunch time the Frizzante cafe is highly recommended with its outdoor eating area, checked table cloths and kid friendly Mediterranean menu.Opening and closing times for Hackney City Farm
