Hackney City Farm provides the opportunity for children and the local community to experience farming
(72)

For Nearly 30 years, Hackney City Farm has been giving the local community the opportunity to experience farming right in the heart of the city. It offers an opportunity for children and adults to get up close to a range of farmyard animals and to learn about where their food comes from and why that matters. We host volunteers from the community as well as corporate groups and provide team-building experiences. Also a unique training, workshop, meeting and launch venue.

🖍️ Lucky our ram with his new Raddle on 🐏

🎨 Although lucky is a very good artist this crayon on his front is used for other purposes, it marks which ewe he has served/mated.

⏰ His leather harness will get changed with another colour in about 17 days, which is a ewes cycle. Unless he can get them all on their first.

🔁 This indicates to farmers which ones were served at what time and can change the amount of feed they get throughout their pregnancy. 🤰 They need the right balance to give birth to healthy lambs. It also saves money for farmers on how much grass or feed they get.

🤓He’s had it on for about a week and we can see he’s served 3, 2 more to go lucky!

🍀 Keep up the good work handsome 😍
