Wagtail Urban Farm

Wagtail Urban Farm is Adelaide's first urban farm, located in Mitchell Park. Established in 2013 by Steven Hoepfner, it operates on a 230sqm block with 180sqm under bio-intensive cultivation to grow market vegetables. The farm's core purpose is to grow healthy, local, nutritious food and provide a working model for others, serving as an inspiration and educational hub for aspiring urban growers.

At peak production, the farm can grow enough fresh produce to feed eight families a week. Produce is available for local pickup, and the farm is connected with the SA Urban Food Network. Steven Hoepfner, who also works as an 'edible landscaper', emphasises the importance of understanding soil health and aims to contribute to a more regenerative and local food system in Adelaide.
