Surrey Docks Farm, Rotherhithe Street, London, UK

Description

Surrey Docks Farm is a working city farm in the heart of London. It occupies a beautiful 2.2 acre site on the south bank of the river Thames in Rotherhithe.

The Farm is an ideal setting and environment for environmental activities throughout the calendar year. There is always something interesting to see, no matter what the season or weather.

The Farm works with local communities and the people of Southwark to provide many unique opportunities for people to learn about farming, food production, and be actively involved in the ongoing working life of the farm.

Animals reared on the Farm include a herd of goats, sheep, cows, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens, donkeys and a pony. The herds and flocks are farmed with specific attention to animal welfare at all times. The Farm prides itself on having an open animal yard where members of the public can interact with our goats. 

There are a variety of green and horticultural attractions at Surrey Docks Farm. We have an orchard, herb garden, dye garden, vegetable plots, and the wildlife area.
