Overview
- Open Farm Sunday will take place on Sunday, June 7 and will open working farms across the UK so visitors can see farming, meet farmers, and learn how food is produced.
- Organisers report participation from more than 250 farms for the 20th anniversary, offering a mix of large and small sites with hands‑on activities and demonstrations.
- Susan’s Farm near Carlisle confirmed it will open from 11:00 to 16:00 with guided walks to meet lambs and calves, wetlands and hay meadow tours, a sheep‑shearing demo, children’s activities, and on‑site food sales.
- Some participating sites require advance tickets and several locations have already sold out, so visitors should check each farm’s entry rules on the Open Farm Sunday website before travelling.
- New LEAF research of more than 2,000 people finds strong public backing for balancing food production and nature protection, a result that organisers say underlines the event’s role in showing sustainable farming in practice and building local trust.
