A great big thank you to @carolinerogers776 for knitting this fantastic demo pair of hand warmers in record time for our May Day festival last weekend, using wool from the Stepney flock spun by @londoncityfarmyarn ... All of our London City Farm Yarn knitting kits sold out on the day of the festival, but @londoncityfarmyarn are still producing an amazing range of beautiful products using the huge amount of fleece collected from London's farms last year. ... And if you're a wool enthusiast, (we know there are a lot of you out there!), please do consider donating the London City Yarn kickstarter to keep this brilliant project moving forward (link in their bio).

After the most exhausting launch weekend of all time, the team at Stepney's cafe will be having a few days off to regroup, and to put the final touches to the dining room before regular service begins from Friday. ... Normal hours will be Tuesday to Sunday, and bank holiday Mondays. ... A huge thank you to everyone who came along for the May Day festival and over the bank holiday weekend. ... The Farm will be open as usual, see you soon! (fb)
