FARM:shop is the brain child of three eco creatives, Andrew Merritt, Paul Smyth and Sam Henderson of designer agency Something & Son. Bringing together their knowledge in art, engineering and business the trio came up with the ingenious social initiative FARM in 2010. The aim is to encourage farming in the city and inspire Londoners to grow their own food, and produce their own fabric and medicine, and the potentially sell it in the FARM:shop. Housed in a once derelict store, the shop now has a fish farm, allotments, polytunnels and a rooftop chicken coop on site and uses the ultra-local produce in its café as well as offering it for sale.
Project space tours will be run at 11am, 1pm and 3pm on both days of Open Garden Squares Weekend and fresh produce will be served among the various growing systems.
