HAVE a field day down on the farm without ploughing through loads of money.
Tomorrow is Open Farm Sunday, an annual event giving visitors the opportunity to learn about the farming community.
How to make most of Open Farm Sunday for a bargain day out with the kids[/caption]
For farmers, it is a chance to show the public the essential work they do.
WHERE AND WHEN: Since the first Open Farm Sunday in 2006, more than 2,000 farmers have welcomed over 3.25million people on to their farms.
You can search for a farm near you at openfarm.org.
Entry to most is free, making it a baaaa-gain day out! But some may charge a small fee or charge for specific activities.
While most events take place tomorrow, some open on other dates in June.
FIND A FARM: Each farm will be taking part in the event in their own way.
For some it’s a chance to take people on tractor rides, others may offer a gentle walk through the fields.
Dairy farms might show you milking time, while arable farms may dig deep into growing techniques.
Check out the listings first to find a farm that appeals the most to you.
FARMING FOR ALL: You don’t have to head into the countryside to experience farm life.
Some of those taking part in Sunday’s event are within towns and cities.
If you miss them, you can visit the animals at local city farms at any time of year.
There are city farms in London, Bath, Nottingham, Sheffield and other areas of the UK. Some are free, though welcome donations.
MAKE HAY AND STAY: If you’re bitten by the farming bug, a holiday or mini break on a working farm might be magical.
For the cream of the crop look at a site like Farm Stays UK, which has B&B and self-catering accommodation.
Camping can be an inexpensive option and on the Pitch Up website you can use the “farm” and “price” filters to find your perfect campsite.
