Friendly Young GOAT - Windmill Hill City Farm, Bristol UK
Windmill Hill City Farm is a charity that provides recreation, education and therapy using food, farming and the environment as a theme.
City Farming:
City farms are agricultural plots in urban areas, which involve people working with animals and plants to produce food. City farms are usually community-run gardens which aim to improve community relationships and offer an awareness of agriculture and farming to people who live in urbanized areas.
City farms are important sources of food security for many communities around the globe. City farms vary in size from small plots in private yards to larger farms that occupy a number of acres. In 1996, a United Nations report estimated there are over 800 million people worldwide who grow food and raise livestock in cities.[7] Although some city farms have paid employees, most rely heavily on volunteer labour, and some are run by volunteers alone. Other city farms operate as partnerships with local authorities.
During the 1960s a number of community gardens were established in the United Kingdom, influenced by the community garden movement in the United States.[citation needed] The first city farm was set up in 1972 in Kentish Town, London. It combined farm animals with gardening space, an addition inspired by children's farms in the Netherlands. Other city farms followed across London and the United Kingdom. In Australia, several city farms exist in various capital cities. In Melbourne, the Collingwood Children's Farm was established in 1979 on the Abbotsford Precinct Heritage Farmlands (the APHF), the oldest continually farmed land in Victoria, farmed since 1838.
In 2010, New York City saw the building and opening of the world's largest privately owned and operated rooftop farm, followed by an even larger location in 2012.[8] Both were a result of municipal programs such as The Green Roof Tax Abatement Program[9] and Green Infrastructure Grant Program.[10]
Learning Resource Centre:
Learning Resource Centre (LRC) is a term which is used in the United Kingdom to describe a type of library that exists within an educational setting such as Secondary Schools, Further Education Colleges and Universities. LRC can also stand for Library Resource Centre and in some cases Learning Resource Centre has been shortened to Learning Centre. Learning Resource Centres are similar to a Hybrid library.
Overview
These centres contain traditional educational resources such as books, journals, software and audio/visual materials, but they also exist to promote electronic information resources. Examples of these are subscription electronic journals, databases, free websites and other web based resources...
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.[19]
At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2)[20] and with over 324 million people, the United States is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area,[fn 7] and the third-most populous. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city is New York City; twelve other major metropolitan areas—each with at least 4.5 million inhabitants—are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Riverside.

Social Impact Demonstrators Project - Windmill Hill City Farm
The Project
The Make IT Yours Telling Stories with Images and Words Project ran between July and October 2007 and was planned and facilitated by Community ICT Officers Peter Holthuis and Lawrence Westland with help from volunteers at Windmill Hill City Farm Computer Centre in Bedminster, Bristol, UK. (windmillhillcityfarm.org.uk)
14 of the original 18 people who joined are presenting their work on this website. We have respected the wishes of those who preferred not to exhibit their work, but their input was none the less essential to the success of the project.
Windmill Hill City Farm has been able to fund this program as part of the national UKonline centre network (ukonlinecentres.com) and as a Social Impact Demonstrators Project.
The Aims
The aim of this Make IT Yours project was to provide adults with mental health issues the opportunity to use photography and writing as a means of self expression through the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT). This has then opened up chances for learning about ICT related topics generally, such as: getting online; using email, web design; image editing; word processing; etc.
The Project Themes:
All participants were given the task of taking photographs and writing text under the following themes:
1. The Learning Journey - first and last reaction to joining the project.
2. Personal Space - a positive and negative space.
3. Neighbourhood - what you like most and least about where you live?
4. Favourite Object - most and least favourite object.
5. Contentment - what makes you happy and sad?
6. Time of Day favourite and worst time of day.
How has your day been at Windmill Hill City Farm?

The Windmill Hill culture was a name given to a people inhabiting southern Britain, in particular in the Salisbury Plain area close to Stonehenge, c.3000 BC.They were an agrarian Neolithic people; their name comes from Windmill Hill, a causewayed camp.Together with another Neolithic tribe from East Anglia, a tribe whose worship involved stone circles, it is thought that they were responsible for the earliest work on the Stonehenge site.
