This week saw the reopening of our own little slice of the country in Greater Kennington, the beloved Vauxhall City Farm. We decided to pop along yesterday to commune with the critters and have a spot of lunch.
Being closed for four months has not been kind down on the Farm, and if you follow them on social media you might have noticed that they started a #savevauxhallcityfarm campain a few months back to keep their heads above water. We can officially proclaim that all is back to normal, with a few added hand sanitizers dotted around and markings on the floor.
On the food front, the options are more limited for the time being and on our visit they had quiche, orzo pasta, beetroot, croissants, cookies, and grilled cheese sandwiches. They also have ice cream and a small gift shop. If the Farm is going succeed it needs good folk like yourself to get over there and start eating.
If you’ve never been to the Farm before, it’s totally free and even fun for grown ups, but not open every day so check the website. You can feed some of the animals, and our visit we spotted alpaca, turkeys, goats, sheep, bunnies and one enormous pig. My colleague got a few glares when they proclaimed ‘I really fancy a bacon sarnie right now’, so hopefully you will be more sensitive.
And yes, we got over excited when we bought green eggs, and so can you!
