Oxford City Farm is a 2.5 acre site being transformed into a community-led city farm in the heart of east Oxford, near to Florence Park. The farm seeks to engage local people with the processes of food production and promote healthy eating and local food.

There are plenty of crops already growing, plus apple trees, a pond, chickens, bees, a beautiful covered space, and a compost toilet. Wheelchair friendly facilities too. There's almost no parking, so please if you can walk, bike or bus (the no. 16 goes right past the door). No dogs other than assistance dogs, now that there are animals.

As well as regular work parties for members of the public, the farm also hosts corporate groups, and visits from schools. Volunteers are well treated (regular cups of tea and plenty of cake), offered produce from the farm, and the jobs on offer are always well pitched for a variety of abilities. Children are welcome, either to help or to rush about playing in the playhouse and around the site (though do be aware that the bees and the pond may require young children to be supervised).
