Open Farm Sunday - sharing successes
The LEAF team would like to invite you to an event to review this year’s Open Farm Sunday, hear our plans for 2010 and share ideas and experiences. Organised by LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming), Open Farm Sunday is the farming industry’s annual open day. Hundreds of farmers and growers open their farms and invite members of the public to pull on their wellies and learn about the story behind our food and its links with nature.
When and Where – 9.45am until 1.30pm, Wednesday 30th September 2009 at The Crypt on the Green, St James Clerkenwell, Clerkenwell Close, London, EC1R 0EA
Programme - speakers and presentations will include:-
• Open Farm Sunday organisers will discuss the key results, lessons learnt, media interest and plans for 2010
• Host farmers will share experiences from their events, what worked well (and what didn’t!), and the benefits to their business
• Visitors will give us their perspective, including why they attended, what they most/least enjoyed, what they learnt and what action, if any, they will take
• Sponsors will outline why they got involved and the benefits to their business
• We will also be hearing from a leading BBC journalist with observations and recommendations for farmer hosts, sponsors and for LEAF
. . . followed by a delicious lunch!
