Meanwood Valley Urban Farm

[2] The animals farmed include Dexter cattle, sheep (Whitefaced Woodland Ryeland), alpacas, goats, several breeds of pig, chickens and ducks.

[3] A Recycled Bike Project takes cycles from Meanwood Household Waste Site and donated by West Yorkshire Police, which are rebuilt by young people, teaching them mechanical skills.

[6] By 1986 there was a hut, and in 1999, having raised half a million pounds, a timber frame building called the Epicentre was opened as a resource for the farm and the local community, with offices, education and meeting rooms.

It is a low-energy building using the principle of solar gain; it has a turf roof and uses a reed bed drainage treatment system.

It was officially opened by the Environment Secretary, Michael Meacher and was also visited by Prince Charles in 2002.
