Title: Open Farm Sunday - 7th June
Post by: gillandtom on June 04, 2009, 07:39:32 pm

Thought this may be of interest.  One of my friends just told me about 'Open Farm Sunday' where farms all over the country open their doors to the general public for one day (this Sunday).  Further details on the website............

Looks like there are some good events on again this year.

I'm out demonstrating spinning for Open Farm Sunday at The Peak District Farm Shop at Grove Farm, nr Stanshope, my brother is doing the shearing demonstration for them. We are really looking forward to it too as last years was a great day.
