Stonebridge City Farm

We are very lucky in Nottingham to have a farm right in the city centre, it isn't a massive farm but it has all your standard farm animals, from chickens to cows and even some bees.

The vegetable garden is stocked full of everything from strawberries to gooseberries and carrots to beetroot.

First up running to see the chickens and turkeys, we loved the fluffy chicken...

Feeding the goats...

More goats, or at least we think this one was a goat. It was very fluffy and had lovely curly hair, the pigs were a hit wallowing in mud...


Off to see the cows, they didn't want any food they seemed happy eating a tree they'd been given...

Off to see the gardens, you can just see the beehives, there were lots of bees buzzing round...

Lot's of pretty flowers and fruit, there was an abundance of red currants and we got to see some courgettes and gooseberries growing too. I remember my grandparents having a gooseberry bush in their old garden, such cute fruit...

Looking at the pollytunnels, we saw some garlic being dried and lot's of vegetables waiting to be  planted outside....

This amazing farm is in the centre of Nottingham but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, it's a brilliant place to just get out and visit, they sell their veg, honey and eggs and lots of plants so there is an opportunity to take a piece of this fab farm home with you.

  7. I love Stonebridge! Lucy the goat is so cheeky and it's a great way for city kids to get up close to lots of different animals. The shop and cafe are also fantastic and brilliant value.
