Open Farm Sunday – your
chance to show what you do
Open Farm Sunday has a new theme for 201415 following 2013’s record-breaking event.
“Celebrate British Farming
and Food”, is set to reflect
growing consumer interest
in buying British as well
as an increasing demand
to know more about how
their food is grown and
produced.
Open Farm Sunday event
manager Annabel Shackleton
said: “We believe the new
theme is ideal, not only for
next year, but also as we look
ahead to Open Farm Sunday’s
10th anniversary in 2015.”
Last year, more than 200,000
visitors took advantage of
the annual event to visit 365
farms sponsored by Linking
Environment and Farming
(LEAF), which aims to raise the
public’s awareness of the story
behind our food and its link to
nature.
Registration is now open for
Open Farm Sunday 2014, to
take place on 8 June 2014
and farmers are encouraged
to sign up as a host and
showcase their farm to their
local community.

To help and support host
farmers, LEAF is organising a
series of free Information Events,
