Marking 50 years of the city farm movement: Charlotte Smith visits Kentish Town City Farm in London, thought to be the first of its kind.

In the 50th anniversary year of the city farm movement, Charlotte Smith visits Kentish Town City Farm in London, thought to be the first of its kind.
A lot has changed since the first pioneers rented the land in 1972 and decided to bring in the first animals, much to the bemusement of the local residents, but its essence is still the same. Charlotte hears how the farm is a place to connect with the outdoors for anyone needing respite from urban life.

Produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
