Experience the perfect harmony of nature and creativity at Barnyard Jakarta, an Urban Nature Reserve nestled in the vibrant neighbourhood of Kemang, South Jakarta. Once a bustling hub of activity, Kemang has lacked engagement in recent years, but the newly opened Barnyard aims to revitalise the area’s sense of community and creativity by offering a space designed as a refreshing alternative in the city.
Inspired by the charm and serenity of the English countryside, Barnyard brings the essence of rural living to an urban setting. At Barnyard, there’s no need to leave Jakarta to immerse yourself in the rhythms of farm life. The working organic farm, situated right within the city, allows visitors a unique opportunity to connect with nature and savour fresh, seasonal produce.
Around Barnyard’s serene farm is a variety of studios offering diverse creative classes and workshops. Tanakita Ceramics brings the passion of handmade pottery to the area, offering daily sessions in ceramic painting, hand-building, and wheel throwing. The on-site florist and boutique, Baleton Flowerchef, offers a variety of services, including event florals, bouquets, and flower arrangement classes. Additionally, the on-site pilates studio, The Body Project, hosts daily classes that cater to a broad range of fitness levels. From pottery to floristry and pilates, these curated studios add to Barnyard’s overall atmosphere, which aims to be a space to wind down, be mindful and temporarily disconnect from the intensity of city life.
This September, Barnyard will launch an educational Farm Field Trip Programme aimed at introducing the community to the principles of organic farming and good agricultural practices. This programme will be open to both individuals and groups, offering an opportunity to learn where food comes from and how sustainable farming can positively impact the environment. By bringing these experiences into the heart of Jakarta, Barnyard hopes to foster residents with valuable knowledge of and a greater connection to nature and food sources.
Barnyard is set to welcome a Reflexology sanctuary in October, adding to the holistic well-being experiences available in this Kemang oasis. Looking ahead, January 2025 will mark the unveiling of Café at Barnyard, an all-day venue serving up a sustainable dining experience featuring organic produce grown on Barnyard’s own farms.
Barnyard aims to be a space of reprieve and recharge in Jakarta. By offering a selection of mindful wellness activities, set in a natural surrounding, the space hopes to nurture both physical and mental wellbeing among visitors, and cultivate a better connection between people and planet. Discover a space where creativity, sustainability, and community converge. Open to visitors of all ages to experience country living without venturing far.
