Three private organisations, including Edinburgh Zoo, are among groups understood to have expressed an interest in taking over Gorgie Farm.
The much-loved urban farm - one of the last left in Scotland - announced recently it would have to close due to rocketing operational costs and a lack of funding.
Operators Love Learning have run the three-acre council-owned site since 2019 but will now walk away, with the farm set to close its doors to the public on Monday (January 16).
