We visit the ‘secret’ Bristol farm with pigs, chickens and an amazing view of the city

Bramble Farm is a community-run smallholding in south Bristol where a group of families in Bedminster and Knowle raise livestock and grow fruit and vegetables.

The farm was created as part of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage programme back in 2008.   

It is still going strong today, with a couple of open days held each year where people can get up close with the pigs and chickens.  

The farm is accessed via the Bommie, part of the Northern Slopes green space, giving it far-reaching views across the city

Have a look through the photos we took when the site was recently open as part of Bristol’s Get Growing Trail.
