I was recently browsing the web when I came across the event Open Farm Sunday. I had never heard about this event before but it has been running since 2006! Where have I been I thought?
I had a good look into the event and discovered that 1000's of Farms across the UK open their doors to the public free of charge on the 11th June. It has proven to be very successful and has been a great way for farms to connect with people and show them what their roles entail.
LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) manages the event and each farm offers something a little different, when events sharing their own individual stories. Activities you can expect to see and join in with on the day include tractor rides, farm walks, nature trails, pond dipping, farm shops and so on.
So what are you waiting for?
Are you enjoying a farm topic at the moment? Or do you have one in the pipeline?
We have some amazing Farm Themed activities to share with you:
