LEAF Open Farm Sun­day is farming’s annu­al open day and has been the go-to event in the cal­en­dar since 2006, offer­ing a won­der­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty for vis­i­tors to get clos­er to farm­ing and the peo­ple that make it hap­pen. Each event is unique, each farm is dif­fer­ent and every farmer too, but what they all share is a pas­sion for farm­ing, amaz­ing exper­tise, and a com­mit­ment to car­ing for the countryside.

Some farms have been passed down through the gen­er­a­tions, oth­ers are man­aged by those who have cho­sen farm­ing as their career; each has its own spe­cial sto­ry to tell and LEAF Open Farm Sun­day is the ide­al chance to come and hear it. Farm­ers may have a host of activ­i­ties planned such as guid­ed farm walks and nature trails, bug hunts and soil pits, trac­tor and trail­er rides, dis­plays of mod­ern, high tech farm machin­ery and more!

Come and meet the farm­ers, their fam­i­lies and oth­er indus­try pro­fes­sion­als, dis­cov­er first-hand how farm­ers sup­port our well­be­ing through their care of the envi­ron­ment, the sus­tain­able pro­duc­tion of our food and how they man­age the coun­try­side to help work towards net zero and mit­i­gat­ing cli­mate change. Togeth­er they man­age valu­able resources like water and soil, and habi­tats for wildlife to thrive. Dis­cov­er all that goes into pro­duc­ing the food we eat and the many oth­er ways that farm­ers con­tribute to our dai­ly lives. 

LEAF Open Farm Sun­day is a fan­tas­tic expe­ri­ence for all ages – vis­it www​.farm​sun​day​.org to find a farm open­ing near you.
