City Farm in East Perth is a wonderful organic community garden, education and network centre, a green oasis in the city!
Before it was founded in 1994 by the youth branch of Men of the Trees, it was a scrap metal yard and battery recycling centre!
Every week from 8am to noon on Saturday there is an Organic Growers Market, where organic and biodynamic produce is sold by independant growers and vendors.
Throughout the year events are held at City Farm which often support the local music and art community.
The next event is the Kamberang Festival, held on Saturday 7 October 2006 from 8am to 4pm. This is a free event (though gold coin donations are very welcome), and celebrates the Nyoongar Spring. There will be live music performances, animals, a puppet show, and of course the weekly organic growers market until 1pm.
City Farm is situated in East Perth, next to Claisebrook Train Station. It is at the end of Lime Street. You can take the free Yellow CAT Bus from the city, which stops next to the door. There is also parking available.
