Welcome to Collingwood Children's Farm

Who We Are

Collingwood Children’s Farm is a registered not-for-profit organisation based on a working community farm. We exist to support adults and children experiencing adversity through social inclusion. Situated only five kilometres from the city on the banks of the Birrarung, CCF provides a connection to our friendly farm animals, gardens, community events, and inclusive and educational programs.

Our industry experts work collaboratively to promote life-long learning towards an environmentally sustainable future and respect for the Traditional Owners of the land we farm on, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people.

Experience country life in the city. We are open every day from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, including all public holidays!
