Pocket City Farms

Pocket City Farms is an urban farm and community and education hub in the heart of Sydney. Pocket City Farms is all about Fair Food, Education and Community.

Alongside growing local, fair food for everyone in our society, we're passionate about engaging the hearts and minds of communities, schools and businesses across Australia to protect and enhance the lands we call home. We do this by educating Australians to think more sustainability and build their resilience to climate change, sharing our knowledge of regenerative practices, permaculture, waste

reduction, heat mitigation and water saving techniques. Pocket City Farms are working to bring urban farms to Australia’s unused city spaces. Pocket City Farms established in 2012 with the aim of establishing a model of urban farming that operates off three main pillars - growing local food, providing education and connecting community. We regard our Camperdown Farm as the first of many - we are working towards establishing or assisting multiple projects throughout Australian major cities. Our long-term vision is to see urban farming as a normal part of our society and urban fabric. Local sustainable food production close to where the bulk of our population live - and can connect with and learn from - is integral in securing a healthy future for our communities and our planet. Our model of farming is multidimensional – we balance growing local and organic produce with the goal of providing education on food and farming, and providing community connection through place and programs. Our first farm is nestled into our local neighbourhood in the inner west. Opened in June 2016, at Camperdown Commons, the farm has become a community hub where you can come and visit the productive ecological farm, pick up some super-local, chemical-free produce, get your hands dirty volunteering, take part in our composting and food forest programs, attend a range of workshops, events, and yoga classes, and bring your school, corporate or community group for a tour, talk or workshop. Importantly, the farm is a place to visit, enjoy productive green space in the city, dig your hands in the soil, and learn all about where exactly our food comes from and how it’s grown. The bowling greens have been converted into 1200m2 of market garden using organic practices to grow vegetables, herbs and salad greens. A greenhouse has been established to grow seedlings for the market garden and for sale to the public, and a 16m3 compost unit has been established for a composting program to turn over food scraps from the restaurants and cafes we supply. The street verge of the farm has also been planted out with edibles and is growing into a lush 180m2 food forest that provides free food for the local residents.

What a day. ☀️✨

We hope the buzz from the beautiful Saturday we spent together has carried you through the start of your week. It definitely has for the PCF team!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the winter solstice and 10 years of Pocket City Farms.

Despite all expectations, we were gifted the most incredible winter weather. We were blessed with sunshine, tasty food, excited children, conversations with old and new friends... and truly wholesome vibes all round.

A special thank you to our volunteers. As a team of just three staff, there is simply no way we could have pulled off an event like this without your generosity, hard work and enthusiasm.

Thank you to Magella, Mark, Stella, Steve, Rodrigo, Tommy and Ric for helping prepare the site; Thomas H and Max H for coordinating volunteers; Anna for helping guide lantern making; Jus, Ferran and Olivia for the cooking demonstration; Christina, Annabel and Tammy for face painting; Garam, Jessie, Grant and Marissa for keeping the PCF stall humming; Eva, Alicia and Max L for caring for our feathered friends; Roxy on socials and Jacqui as our wonderful MC.

Thank you also to our incredible stallholders, workshop facilitators, supporters and every single person who came along to celebrate with us.

We’re feeling very grateful. 💚

🥁🥁🥁(A very special) Throwback Thursday!!!

Before there was a farm, there was a vision….

And then a bowling club…. and then a WHOLE LOT of work to be done.

Pocket City Farms officially opened its gates in 2016... which means...we’re turning 10 this year! 🎉 🎂 🎉

Ever wondered how PCF started?

Back in 2010 Co-founders Emma and Zag (pictured) and their crew (Karen Erdos, Adrian Baiada and Luke Heard) had the vision to create a place in inner-Sydney where people could gather, learn and grow good food together. A place that would not only reconnect city-dwellers to where their food comes from, but to each other.

Through determination, persistence and the power of collective effort, that vision became Pocket City Farms.

More PCF history to come!
