LEAF Open Farm Sunday is the farming industry’s national open day. Visit a farm on Open Farm Sunday on 27th June and discover the world of farming. Find out about the story behind our food and how farming affects our everyday lives.
It is a fantastic opportunity for everyone, young and old, to discover at first hand what it means to be a farmer and the fabulous work they do producing our food, enhancing the countryside and all the goods and services farmers provide.
Each event is unique based around the farm’s individual story. Activities during the day may include a farm walk, nature trail, tractor and trailer rides, demonstrations, pond dipping, activities for children, a mini farmers market or farm shop.
