Open Farm Sunday Celebrates Success

Data recently released on Open Farm Sunday showed 270 events taking place across the country, a 20% increase on 2024. The day welcomed an estimated 200,000 visitors.

New research from LEAF reveals a strong appetite among young peo­ple to learn more about the sec­tor with 46% of Gen Z saying they would con­sid­er a career in farm­ing. While only 1 in 5 cur­rent­ly see farm­ing as essen­tial to tack­ling cli­mate change, this high­lights an oppor­tu­ni­ty to bridge the knowl­edge gap and align farming’s role with the val­ues Gen Z cares about most.

With the 20^th anniver­sary of Open Farm Sun­day coming up, near­ly 3.5 mil­lion peo­ple have vis­it­ed a farm through the ini­tia­tive.  Next year’s Open Farm Sun­day will take place on 7^th June 2026.
