It is located within Wurundjeri/Woiwurrung country. It is adjacent to, and considered part of the larger Abbotsford Convent complex. The Abbotsford Heritage Precinct Farmlands supporting the Collingwood Children's Farm are unique in being the oldest continually farmed land in the state of Victoria.

It is also the oldest Children's Farm in Australia, established in 1979. ()
