One of the city's most well-known farms has decided not to reopen to the public yet.
St Werburghs City Farm is welcoming back its volunteers, but remains closed to members of the public.
Other community farms in the city - including Lawrence Weston Community Farm and Windmill Hill City Farm in Bedminster- have both reopened to the public.
Kari Halford, one of the directors at St Werburghs City Farm said: "The farm itself is very small and we can't put in place a one-way system easily, for instance.
"We are prioritising the needs of our volunteers as many have underlying health conditions or other disadvantages which have resulted in them being significantly affected by lockdown measures."
The farm director said they wouldn't be able to ensure the safety of their volunteers if they had members of the public on site as well.
Ms Halford said every year they work with more than 3,500 people but, until social distancing isn't essential, they believe they will only be able to work with 150 volunteers each month safely.
She added their volunteers include refugees, adults with learning difficulties, young people who suffer with mental health problems and young carers.
Some of them will not have been able to leave their houses since lockdown was introduced, the farm director continued, and some live in overcrowded houses or with no access to green spaces.
"The people we work with have got additional challenges compared to our average visitor - they do not have the same opportunities," she continued. "We have to prioritise the people that need our services the most and we just can not fit everybody in at the moment.
"We are really excited to welcome our volunteers back to the farm."
Giving the example of the group of adults with learning difficulties who volunteer at the farm, Ms Halford said they consider the farm to be their place of work where they can reconnect with the community and do something practical that they feel is helpful.
For the young people struggling with their mental health, she continued, the farm will be a therapeutic space where they can reconnect with nature and build their confidence.
Ms Halford said they were exploring ways that visitors can access the farm and café at weekends such as online booking.
"At the same time as welcoming back our volunteers and service users, we continue to care for the animals, grow fresh food that Coexist Community Kitchen is turning into turn into tasty free meals for 100 local people per week and propagate vegetable seedlings to support food production," the farm said on Facebook.
"If you can, please support these activities by donating.
"We know you are excited to visit the farm, and we thank you for your patience and understanding during this time."
