Did you know we're an approved Rare Breeds Farm Park?
Here at Heeley City Farm, we're proud to care for several rare and native livestock breeds. These animals aren't just part of our busy, community farm, they're part of Britain's living heritage.
By caring for these breeds, we're helping to protect the genetic diversity of traditional farm animals, while offering our visitors the chance to meet them up close and learn about their importance.
Learn more about the work of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust by visiting the RBST website www.rbst.org.uk/rbst-watchlist.
