Food labels can tell us a lot, but they cannot show us everything.
#OpenFarmSunday turns labels into lived experience - meet farmers, ask questions, and see how food is produced with care.

Let’s be honest. Who doesn’t love a tractor?
Machinery is a highlight at Open Farm Sunday, especially for children seeing it up close.
From trailer rides to displays, farms have their own ways to bring farming to life.
What are you looking forward to on 7 June?
