St Werburghs City Farm

Who we are

St Werburghs City Farm is an inner-city oasis that connects people through land, nature and food, whilst inspiring and educating. Each year, we engage 60,000 people in spaces and services that build resilience, reduce isolation and strengthen community.

Our activities include accredited gardening placements for neurodiverse adults, animal care courses for inner-city children, woodland mindfulness for adults experiencing poor mental health, conservation courses for people looking to develop new skills and connections and many other programmes. We pride ourselves on supporting people, from all walks of life, to learn, grow and thrive.  We are a community-focused employer that values all forms of diversity. 

Using a 2-acre small holding, a 1-acre community garden, a 2.5 conservation site and 13 acres of community allotments, our mission is to increase people's knowledge of where food comes from and access to locally produced food, enhance people's health and wellbeing through greater access to green spaces, and improve the capacity, confidence and cohesion of our community.

With more than 3,500 service users, 15,000 people enjoying our events/facilities and more than 40,000 local visitors passing through the gates each year, we are a vital community resource, freely accessible to all.
