Pocket City Farms

Pocket City Farms Pocket City Farms is an urban farm and community and education hub in the heart of Sydney. Pocket City Farms is all about Fair Food, Education and Community.

Alongside growing local, fair food for everyone in our society, we're passionate about engaging the hearts and minds of communities, schools and businesses across Australia to protect and enhance the lands we call home. We do this by educating Australians to think more sustainability and build their resilience to climate change, sharing our knowledge of regenerative practices, permaculture, waste

reduction, heat mitigation and water saving techniques. Pocket City Farms are working to bring urban farms to Australia’s unused city spaces. Pocket City Farms established in 2012 with the aim of establishing a model of urban farming that operates off three main pillars - growing local food, providing education and connecting community. We regard our Camperdown Farm as the first of many - we are working towards establishing or assisting multiple projects throughout Australian major cities. Our long-term vision is to see urban farming as a normal part of our society and urban fabric. Local sustainable food production close to where the bulk of our population live - and can connect with and learn from - is integral in securing a healthy future for our communities and our planet. Our model of farming is multidimensional – we balance growing local and organic produce with the goal of providing education on food and farming, and providing community connection through place and programs. Our first farm is nestled into our local neighbourhood in the inner west. Opened in June 2016, at Camperdown Commons, the farm has become a community hub where you can come and visit the productive ecological farm, pick up some super-local, chemical-free produce, get your hands dirty volunteering, take part in our composting and food forest programs, attend a range of workshops, events, and yoga classes, and bring your school, corporate or community group for a tour, talk or workshop. Importantly, the farm is a place to visit, enjoy productive green space in the city, dig your hands in the soil, and learn all about where exactly our food comes from and how it’s grown. The bowling greens have been converted into 1200m2 of market garden using organic practices to grow vegetables, herbs and salad greens. A greenhouse has been established to grow seedlings for the market garden and for sale to the public, and a 16m3 compost unit has been established for a composting program to turn over food scraps from the restaurants and cafes we supply. The street verge of the farm has also been planted out with edibles and is growing into a lush 180m2 food forest that provides free food for the local residents.

What an incredible year we have had at Pocket City Farms — full of fair food, education, and community. ✨

A highlight was our pilot program with the City of Sydney, donating half our harvest to the GAPP program in Glebe, helping make fresh, healthy food accessible to everyone. 🥕🌽🥒🍅

Thousands of volunteers, school students, and corporate groups got their hands in the dirt, reconnecting with nature and each other.

Thank you to everyone who made this year so special — here’s to more compassion, connection, and community in 2026!

🌻People are at the heart of what we do🌻

Thank you to everyone who joined our Working Bee last Thursday. We spent the evening harvesting flowers and veggies, then shared a delicious meal made from fresh organic produce straight from the farm.

A huge thank you to , , and everyone who came along to help make it such a warm, joyful night. This is community.

🌿 A Big Day at Mascot Public School! 🌿

We had an awesome day with Mascot Public School building a native biodiversity corridor using Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub, one of Sydney’s most precious and endangered ecological communities.

A huge thank you to the students who rolled up their sleeves and got involved. The ecosystem we planted will grow with them — a living reminder of what community and nature can create together.

Do you have an area at your school that’s not being used? Let us build a native biodiversity wildlife corridor for you! 🌳💚

🫒 If you’ve never had freshly jarred olives, you’re in for a real treat! Our urban farm-grown olives are hand-picked and processed by community and jarred by our farmer Chris and their family. Every jar carries the taste of the farm, the care of our community, and supports the work we do as a nonprofit. 🌞💚

Mulch is one of the simplest and most powerful tools we have to care for our soil. It keeps moisture in through dry spells, protects soil life from harsh heat, and breaks down over time to feed the living ecosystem beneath our feet. Healthy soil grows healthy plants — and it all starts with a good layer of mulch.

Ours comes from local arborists, turning what would have been a waste product into a vital resource for regeneration. It’s a small act of circularity that keeps nutrients cycling locally, reduces landfill, and helps our city grow greener from the ground up. 🌳➡️🌾

Big shout out to our volunteers for bringing this good stuff in by the barrow full!! And a thank you to the arborists who drop off wood chips by the truckload!

Rosella & Mulberry Jam 💞

Harvested and processed by community and turned into zingy jam by our farmer Chris and their lovely family, this jar is a taste of the farm, the community, and Sydney sunshine. 🌞💚

It’s one of the star treats in our Pocket City Farms Holiday Hampers, alongside PCF olives, farm-grown herbal tea, local honey, and granola from Wafu made with PCF ingredients. A gift that gives twice — supporting local growers and regenerative farming while delighting anyone who opens it.

🌿 The past few of weeks have been full of energy on the farm with teams joining us for retreats and volunteer days.

One rainy day was perfect for processing our farm-grown lemongrass into tea, while a few adventurous souls braved the drizzle to plant a new cover crop. On sunnier days, we got stuck into planting and weeding, keeping the beds thriving through spring and into summer.

These days aren’t just about team building — they’re about connecting people to where food comes from, supporting urban green spaces, and helping us grow a more sustainable city together. 🌱💚

🎄✨ Sip a little sunshine this holiday season 🌿☕

Our Pocket City Farms Holiday Hampers are full of locally made goodies, and this year we’re especially excited about our farm-grown herbal tea. A fragrant blend of passionfruit, Mexican marigold, lemon myrtle, lemon verbena, lemongrass, and lemon balm, all grown and dried right here on the farm — it’s a cup of calm, connection, and Sydney sunshine.

Alongside the tea, hampers include PCF olives, rosella & mulberry jam, local honey, and granola from Wafu made with ingredients from the farm. Every hamper supports local growers, small producers, and regenerative farming — a delicious way to share the season’s abundance. 💚

These limited hampers always sell fast, so grab yours on our website shop while you can!

We recently ran programs at UNSW on small space gardening and gardening on a budget.

Students learned clever ways to make wicking beds from found materials, propagate plants from cuttings, and design a garden in even the tiniest spaces 🌿

No matter your space, budget, or experience, it’s never too early to start growing — and we love sharing these skills with our community 💚

It was also such a treat to explore UNSW's urban garden, had to include a few photos of what they have growing!

Our Story

Pocket City Farms is a ¼ acre urban market garden in Camperdown, Sydney, NSW - and the first urban farm of its kind in Australia.

Opened in June 2016 the farm is a community hub where you can visit the productive ecological farm, pick up chemical-free produce, get your hands dirty volunteering, take part in our composting and food forest programs, attend a range of workshops, events, and yoga classes, hire out community spaces, and bring your school, corporate or community group for a tour, talk or workshop. Importantly, the farm is a place to visit, enjoy productive green space in the city, dig your hands in the soil, and connect with and learn how food is grown.

Pocket City Farms established in 2012 with the aim of establishing a model of urban farming that operates off three main pillars - growing local food, providing education and connecting community.
