Gorgie City Farm

Gorgie City Farm is a city farm in Gorgie, south-west Edinburgh. It was established in the late 1970s and officially opened in 1982.[1] Animals include cows, sheep and goats.[2] There is a small play park encouraging imagination led play.[3] Entry is free but the organisation relies on donations to maintain this as well as the council grant and other funding for specific projects. Certain activities are put on for a minimum donation. The social enterprises (birthday parties and small pet boarding) charge the relevant fees. Parking is limited to blue badge holders (or obvious equivalents).
