Open Farm Sunday is one day in the year when everyone gets the chance to understand the true story and value behind their food, and the dedication and skill of farmers who produce it.

Care about your food? We do! Thats the message from farmers across the country who are preparing to open their gates on Open Farm Sunday (13 June 2010).

The event in 2009 was a fantastic success. 140,000 visitors were welcomed on to 425 farms across the UK and got the chance to meet the farmers who grow their food and care for the countryside.
