The updated masterplan will reflect significant projects undertaken and set the vision for the Farm into the future. We also want to identify areas of improvement to this valued heritage and open space asset for the Camden community and help support Council bids for funding improvements in the future.

Adoption of Masterplan

Miss Llewella Davies very generously bequeathed her family farm to the people of Camden in 2000. This parcel is now known as Camden Town Farm.

In her will she specified "...I give the farm to the Council of Camden subject to the following conditions..... that the farm be used as a working dairy farm or for some other agricultural pursuit to the intent that it should operate as a working model farm to enable the community to see such a farm in operation at close hand... or if that is not possible as a passive recreation area..."

A detailed biography of Miss Davies can be found here www.changingcamden.com/

Camden Town Farm, located on Exeter Street, Camden, is a 52-hectare dairy farm that was bequeathed to the local community by the late Miss Llewella Davies. It is a unique green space on the flood plain surrounding Camden and is open to the public.
