Open Farm Weekend is taking place in Northern Ireland for the first time this year. Between 23rd – 24th June 2012, the public will be invited to visit a number of farms to learn about the story behind Northern Ireland food and its link to nature.

People can explore their local farm, learning about its history whilst exploring the land and interacting with the animals. With a first-class agri food sector in Northern Ireland, we have a lot to celebrate!

Don’t let the weather put you off…farmers have to work in all weather so it’ll give you a great chance to get a real feel of the day to day workings of being on a farm.

If you do decide to put your wellies on and venture out onto the farms, tweet us your pictures and share your stories of Facebook to tell us how much you enjoyed your day!! @Food_NI and http://www.facebook.com/pages/Food-NI/133956406623005
