THE FARM

FAIR FOOD // EDUCATION // COMMUNITY
Pocket City Farms is a social enterprise working to bring urban farms to Australia’s unused city spaces, connecting communities through fair access to food.
A Working farm
Pocket City Farms was established in 2016 as part of Camperdown Commons, on the previously unused bowling greens of the old Camperdown Bowling Club. It’s become a productive hub where the local community can gather to learn about all things farming and food growing. People can buy local, organically-grown produce and take part in many workshops and events.
Onsite you’ll see that the bowling greens have been converted into 1200m2 of market garden using organic practices to grow vegetables, herbs and salad greens. A greenhouse grows seedlings for the market garden and a 16m compost unit has been established for composting local food waste. The farm is a brilliant showcase of urban farming open to the public.
