Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend is set to return this June, marking 15 years of celebrating Northern Ireland’s farming industry and giving the public a unique opportunity to experience life on a working farm.
Organised by the Ulster Farmers’ Union and supported by title sponsor Bank of Ireland, the event will take place from Friday 12th June to Sunday 14th June, with farms across Northern Ireland opening their gates to schools, families and visitors.
As one of Northern Ireland’s largest free farming awareness initiatives, Open Farm Weekend continues to highlight the farm to fork journey, helping to build a greater understanding of how local food is produced and the roles farmers play in everyday life.
This year’s milestone event will see a range of working farms welcoming visitors for a packed programme of interactive and educational activities, offering a behind the scenes look at modern farming practices, animal care and food production.
The UFU is encouraging members of the public to come along, meet local farmers and celebrate Northern Ireland’s farming community.
