Open Farm Sunday – 27th June 2021

We are really looking forward to our first Open Farm Sunday here at Deepdale Farm. Open Farm Sunday has been happening across the UK for a long time now, so it is wonderful to engage in this event organised by LEAF.

FULLY BOOKED – Thank you to everyone who has booked to visit us for our 1st Open Farm Sunday.
Pleased to say that we are now fully booked, sorry if you missed out this year.

Come and join us at Deepdale Farm on Sunday 27th June for Open Farm Sunday. You are welcome to visit us for the morning or afternoon, to learn about the farm, meet the team, meet some of our partners, and join us for a walk around parts of the farm that aren’t usually open to the public.

Come and find out more about the crops that we’re growing, how we’re farming organically and how we’re managing much of the farm to support wildlife.
