Bath City Farm, based in Twerton, is extending its opening hours to include Sundays starting from Sunday 11 June.
The community farm will be open from 9.30am to 4pm, with its farm animals, nature trail, children’s playground and cafe all available to enjoy. The community cafe will be open from 10am to 3pm on Sundays offering a special Sunday brunch menu.
The cafe serves a seasonal menu and uses ingredients grown on the farm. Its Sunday brunch dishes include the pancake stack served with bacon and maple syrup and the halloumi breakfast, served with fresh sliced and dressed tomatoes, herby new roast potatoes and hummus. There will also be a Farmer’s breakfast and Gardener’s breakfast amongst other brunch dishes, all can be enjoyed with the farm’s choice of teas and locally roasted coffees.
Sunday’s farm opening coincides with the launch of a new Garden Shop and Farm Shop, located just outside the cafe and within the cafe itself. The Garden Shop sells a range of plants from £2 which have been sown, grown and tended by the farm’s wellbeing volunteers. The plants include flowers for pollinators such as cornflowers, vegetables such as courgettes, artichokes and french beans, herbs, seeds and pots.
The Farm Shop sells a range of locally sourced cheeses and butter, as well as fruit and vegetables, farm eggs, biscuits for cheese, chocolate, biscuits, crisps, chutneys and jams, as well as its own reared meat, with gammon joints and lamb available.
The farm’s small-scale, low impact regenerative farming practices help to enrich the soil keeping the land flourishing with biodiversity. Over 1000 different species make the Farm their home. All profits from the cafe, farm shop and garden shop will be reinvested into the farm.
Farm Director, Brendan Tate Wistreich, said, “The farm is a wonderful place for families, older and young members of the community, to spend time. Sunday is a special day to relax and enjoy local green spaces, so what better place to spend it than Bath City Farm.”
