Welcome!

Gorgie City Farm in Edinburgh is a unique inner city farm. It’s open all year round, entry is free and it’s located right in the heart of the city, meaning there’s no excuse not to come and wander round the vegetable patches, meet the cute animals nestling in the Pet Lodge, say hi to the horse and salute a sheep! And no trip to the farm is complete without a stop off at the café, which is open daily from 9.30am – 4pm and serves all manner of tasty treats, from home-made cakes, to scrummy sandwiches, to hearty soups made from scratch using the vegetables and herbs grown right here on the farm. Everything we serve is made on-site, meaning the menu is really varied depending on what seasonal produce is available – and what mood the cook is in that day!

So, there’s some delicious food on offer, but unfortunately many years of muddy wellies tramping through the café means it’s looking a little bit worse for wear and is in desperate need of a facelift! Luckily, this October the café will undergo a dramatic transformation, and this blog will be there to document it all. We’ve got loads of enthusiastic volunteers - who we’ve been told are handy with a paintbrush - coming to lend a hand, and all the Gorgie team will be helping out too.

Logon to the blog page for updates of the refurb as well as news on what will be on offer in the café, special events and farm-related fun! Gorgie Farm does so much good for the community through its involvement with volunteer and education projects which reach a really diverse range of people. We hope that the café will continue to be a fun, lively and welcoming place where all of the fantastic people who visit Gorgie every day can meet for a cuppa! Watch this space!
