Hounslow Urban Farm
Hounslow Urban Farm is one of London's largest community farms. Covering 29 acres it is an important educational resource and leisure facility for all the family. Visitors can enjoy a variety of colourful and unusual farm animals close-up, including 5 types of pigs, goats, cows, rabbits, ducks, geese, alpacas, rheas chipmunks and lots more.
Many of the visitors to the farm are urban residents who have little or no contact with a traditional farm environment or livestock. The farm offers an opportunity for close contact and interaction with a variety of animals in a safe environment.
Some of the animals are rare breeds which are in danger of dying out due to intensive farming methods. This was recognised when the project began and the farm now breeds a variety of rare or endangered domestic livestock including: sheep, goats and pigs.
Rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals bred on the farm can be purchased with advice given on suitable pets and how best to care for them.
Pig Racing, Animal Handling and other activities are run every weekend and daily throughout the school holidays. We also have a children's entertainer on bank holiday Mondays and every Tuesday during school holidays.
The farm also offers a cafe during the weekends and school holidays, with a range of beverages and souvenirs for sale.
