Abstract
Windmill Hill City Farm was founded more than 40 years ago as the first city farm outside London. It aims to promote environmental education and addresses disadvantage by providing a green, recreational space in the heart of Bristol. The organisation has grown over time and now provides a children’s nursery, wellbeing- related activities with a key focus on mental health and learning difficulties, room hire and on-site tenants, and runs a thriving café. Throughout its growth and diversification, the farm has stayed true to its original social aims of addressing disadvantage and building community cohesion, and continues to attract general visitors from the local population.
