Food, farming and fun at Open Farm Weekend!

Between 15th-16th June 2013, you are invited to visit 19 real, working farms all over Northern Ireland to learn the story behind great, local food and its link to nature. Each farm will be running an event as individual as the farmer with some offering simple but fascinating guided tours of their farms and others organising full scale family fun days with petting zoos and barbecues, eating competitions, performing animals and vintage farm machinery displays! And all of our individual farmer events are FREE to attend!
