Open Farm Sunday - 9th June

Hundreds of farms across the UK are preparing to open their gates to the public.

Open Farm Sunday is back for its 18th year and offers the public a chance to see how farmers can produce food sustainably, while also caring for the environment and wildlife.

It is organised by the glob­al sus­tain­able farm­ing char­i­ty LEAF (Link­ing Envi­ron­ment And Farm­ing). The event has been praised as being a “great fam­i­ly day out”. Why not organise a day out with your youth or children's group and enjoy some quality and educational time together?

Some farms open­ing on Open Farm Sun­day are also LEAF Mar­que cer­ti­fied. This means that they are farm­ing regen­er­a­tive­ly, nur­tur­ing healthy soil, pro­tect­ing water, sup­port­ing nature con­ser­va­tion and enhanc­ing wildlife habi­tats.

On those farms, people can find out more about the LEAF Mar­que, which they may have already seen on fruit, veg­eta­bles and oth­er prod­ucts in the super­mar­kets.

Please note that the farms surrounding Lowen Christian Centre will not be open farms and that for the safety of the public and farm animals, the farm is closed to the public.
