The Ulster Farmers’ Union Deputy President, William Irvine added; “The event will see participation from 21 diverse farms, each offering a unique experience and insight into different aspects of agriculture. Visitors can explore the rich tapestry of Northern Ireland’s farming heritage, gaining a better understanding of the food production process and meet the farmer that works 365 days a year to deliver delicious food from farm to fork.”

Richard Primrose from Bank of Ireland said “The agri-food industry makes a significant economic and social contribution and we’re delighted to partner with Open Farm Weekend to recognise and celebrate hard working farms right across Northern Ireland. Our farming families are working hard to address some of the biggest societal challenges, from food poverty and sustainability to farm safety and Open Farm Weekend provides an opportunity for consumers to get behind the gate to see first-hand how farms are addressing these challenges as they continue to produce the highest standards of farm fresh produce.”
