Open Farm Sunday – get involved!Organiser's LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) have ambitious plans for this year's Open Farm Sunday and want to build on the fantastic success of last year's event when 7000 farmers and helpers hosted 400 open days all over the country for over 150,000 local families, friends and neighbours to learn about what farmer's do, why they do it and why farms matter. Just like every farm being unique, no one event was the same, some organised a small farm walk for their non farming neighbours, whilst others put on activities, food tasting, tractor and trailer rides, plus much more for hundreds of people.To help you organise an event LEAF will provide you with a pack to include – posters, flyers, roadside notice boards and arrows, suggested activities, H&S guidance, polo shirts and lots more! In addition to the pack LEAF is organising a series of practical on farm events/workshops to provide advice on how to publicise and organise a fun and safe event. An outline programme and venues are below.
If you would like to take part in Open Farm Sunday please register your event on www.farmsunday.org or if you would like to know more first, please telephone LEAF on 02476 413911.
