We live nearby and visit the farm almost every Saturday. The farm offers a few dishes, mostly made with ingredients produced locally. Eggs with mushrooms are excellent! The farmers' market is on Saturday. I don't find veggies particularly tasty, but the bread is worth a visit. There is also an Italian guy selling products from Emilia-Romagna. We managed to find the "aceto balsamico" from the Acetaia Giusti, the oldest producers of balsamic vinegar in the world!

Visited again, and still great to see a working farm so close to the city. I have forgotten nd memories from the days of the Stepping Stones Farm. Long may it continue to flourish. Small animals, goats, chicken plus small scale agricultural efforts make this a very pleasing retreat in the middle of a very busy urban area

Fab experience for kids and adults alike. It's on my doorstep and I love being able to wander around to see the animals and buy some local products at the farmers market on Saturdays. Great to have such a fantastic community so close to where I live. I'll definitely be back and would love to volunteer on an ad-hoc basis.

Had the best Sunday afternoon here. Beautiful breakfast and service at their Humble Bee cafe (newspapers, games, food is local produce or grown next door) Walked around the farm after; allotments, farm animals, arts workshops, children's area. It's a gem and I'll be coming back!

Amazing city farm! We've lived just down the road for about 6 years and it's got better and better. Our 3 kids love it and they've just started a Saturday farmers market that brings a great sense of community to the area. Would highly recommend

I did some volunteering here (the place is run by volunteers) for a day in June, so got to see the farm in quite a lot of detail. The animals are lovely and friendly, I was surprised how much like dogs the pigs are. This place is very much about community - there are workshops for refugees to learn new skills, activities for children, and most importantly a little piece of countryside in the middle of one of the poorest parts of London. The staff do a wonderful job of making you feel welcome and look after the animals to a very high standard.

Great cafe, lovely vibe, and of course the farm is pretty unusual. The Saturday farmers' market is a great addition, and there's an organic Veg box scheme (Tower Green Hamlets) that offers pick ups here. In many ways Stepney City Farm showcases Tower Hamlets at its diverse best, a cross-section of the Community visit and are inspired.

If you live close by, I recommend - my favourite time is to go on a Saturday when they have a market free access. The market has stalls selling fresh organic vegetables, high quality meat, sausages, cheeses, pickles, hams, coffees and sometimes hot food!

I love this place. Such a friendly community atmosphere. Great little cafe, nice Saturday farmers market and a beautiful wee farm with a good selection of animals to visit. I've become good friends with the donkeys. Quite a few family friendly activities available too.

This is a wonderful farm and community resource. The cafe is amazing with absolutely delicious, healthy food. There are lots of different animals to see, and feed, and a great play area and garden for kids. The staff were friendly and helpful, plus the farm is a lovely, calm, green space in the middle of the city. Well worth a visit, with or without kids, and a fantastic (and free) way to unwind if you're feeling a bit stressed (as we were). A trip here is definitely good for wellbeing and relaxation and they have plenty of opportunities to get involved in the farm if you want to visit regularly. We arrived tired and frazzled and left calm, refreshed and happy.
