oasis southampton city farm
The Farm was formed in 1992 and was the amalgamation of Southampton City Farm
and Millbrook School Rural Science Unit which became Down to Earth Farm. It has
been a City farm since 1976, with a horticultural route for the site dating back
to 1936. In 2008, Oasis Community Learning (part of Oasis Academy Lord's Hill),
took over the running of the farm from Southampton City council. In 2020, the
farm changed its name back to Southampton City Farm. The farm now tends to
Approx. 1.2 hectares of workable land alongside the community building and other
buildings which facilitate the programs we run throughout the week. The land is
mostly devoted to grazing areas for the animals, with a horticultural area at
the western end of the site, where we grow a diverse crop to feed the animals
and to provide ingredients for the kitchen
