Get your Spitalfields Farm calendar!
By Phil Nichols
We have recently taken delivery of a beautiful 2022 calendar to help raise funds for our Farm.
Spitalfields Life has teamed up with The East End Trades Guild and local traders Newmans Stationery, Baddeley Brothers and Gardners Bags to produce a beautiful fund-raising calendar for Spitalfields City Farm. The calendars come with either complimentary handmade envelopes or stripy green bags.
This compact wall calendar features photographs by Rachel Ferriman, measures 20cm x 20cm, and retails at £10. Newmans Stationers did the printing, Baddeley Brothers donated handmade envelopes and Gardners Bags donated paper bags.
There is poetry in the unexpected presence of agriculture in the city and it always makes my heart leap to hear animal cries in this urban setting, connecting me to the rural landscape beyond and reminding us of the fields that were here before the streets were built up. Despite the tower blocks visible through the greenery at Spitalfields City Farm, it is nature that prevails here.
