Open Farm Day is an opportunity for farmers to share their passion and celebrate agriculture!
This annual initiative is to raise awareness of the industry, educate the public and connect to the people in your community.
It's all about opening our doors so people can see what really happens on a farm and where their food comes from.
To participate, farmers have two options:
- To host events at their farms. It’s up to each farm’s discretion to decide what their event will be, with NLFA providing support where applicable. In the past, events have included BBQs, petting farms, garden / greenhouse tours, games, hayrides and more!
- To participate virtually by submitting a video that will be shared leading up to September 15 (this option might be more appropriate for operations with carefully controlled environments or who do not have liability insurance).
Check out NL Open Farm Day 2023 for ideas/to see how we celebrated last year!
If you have any questions or would like to workshop ideas before committing to participating, don't hesitate to reach out to NLFA Public Trust & Marketing Manager Sara Power at sara@nlfa.ca.
