The 'Rare Breeds in the City' project, funded by the Heritate Lottery Fund has come to an end but it is not the end for rare breeds at Spitalfields City Farm.
The Heritage Lottery Fund had provided a grant of £50,000 to enable us to purchase rare breeds of british farm animal.
You can now find examples of these rare breeds on Rare Breed Farm parks (approved by the RBST) but also many private breeders keep them and help contribute valuable breeding animals to increase population numbers. Over the next year we will be hatching rare breed chicken eggs and later next year, breeding rare British sheep and goats. You can read all about rare breeds and our year long project in our new 'Rare Breeds in the City' book - with a foreword by Peter Titley, chairman of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. You can view an e-book copy here for free Or buy a full colour paper copy directly from us at the farm for £6 (send a cheque with +£2 postage if you want it delivered).
