Farmers urged to participate in this year's Open Farm Sunday

Organisers behind Open Farm Sunday are encouraging more farmers than ever to open their gates to the public to tell the story of British food production.

Educational charity LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) aims to boost the number of farms opening their gates to the public for the 2024 event.

As the largest annual celebration of British farming, Open Farm Sunday gives the public a closer look about what it takes to be a farmer in Britain.

It is an opportunity for farmers to engage with the local community, share the farming story, bust any myths about the industry and give visitors a positive experience.
