Wel­come to Open Farm Sunday

Open Farm Sun­day, man­aged by LEAF (Link­ing Envi­ron­ment And Farm­ing), is one of the farm­ing industry’s biggest suc­cess sto­ries. Since the first Open Farm Sun­day in 2006, over 2000 farm­ers across Britain have opened their gates and wel­comed over 3.25 mil­lion peo­ple onto farms for farm­ing’s annu­al open day.

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, nur­tur­ing 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.

• If you’re a farmer think­ing of host­ing an event, head to our Open My Farm page. 
• If you’re look­ing for a farm to vis­it in June, you can find your local event here.

A huge con­grat­u­la­tions and thank you to every­one involved – includ­ing a big thank you to all our spon­sors for their finan­cial and in-kind sup­port. Read all about this huge suc­cess sto­ry here:

About LEAF

LEAF (Link­ing Envi­ron­ment And Farm­ing) is a nation­al char­i­ty that helps farm­ers improve the way they farm by encour­ag­ing them to take up Inte­grat­ed Farm­ing. LEAF also helps to cre­ate a bet­ter pub­lic under­stand­ing of farm­ing through our nation­al net­work of Demon­stra­tion Farms, Inno­va­tion Cen­tres, LEAF Edu­ca­tion work and ini­tia­tives like Open Farm Sun­day. We bring farm­ers and con­sumers togeth­er to raise aware­ness of how farm­ers are work­ing in har­mo­ny with nature to pro­duce good food with envi­ron­men­tal care, sustainably.
