Description: The Gorgie City Farm website relates that "In 1977 a community group started clearing the derelict site of what is now Gorgie City Farm. There were plans to develop the site for housing or for a school, but local people insisted green space was the priority and the City Farm opened to the public in 1982. Ever since it has been a working farm, selling lambs, pigs, eggs, vegetables and manure to raise some of its running costs." As a registered charity the farm survives partly on the donations it receives from the thousands who visit it each year.
