LEAF has launched a free online webinar to help growers and farmers who are considering opening their farms for the first time for this year’s Open Farm Sunday (OFS).
The 20-minute webinar will take place on Tuesday 31 January 2017 at 1pm and is part of a series being run by LEAF for both new and experienced Open Farm Sunday host farmers.
Topics will include health and safety, activities and publicity, and farmers can log in and follow presentations, as well as ask questions to OFS regional coordinators and experienced hosts.
Annabel Shackleton, LEAF’s Open Farm Sunday manager said: “We’re delighted to be offering these new free webinars for farmers. There is so much inspiration and experience amongst our co-coordinators and experienced host farmers, so these webinars offer a great platform to share this expertise and provide an easy and interactive way for farmers to engage with the OFS team directly and get a head start on their planning to ensure maximum success for Open Farm Sunday 2017.
“We’d like to invite everyone, whether they have opened before or are thinking about opening for the first time on 11th June 2017, to join us for our OFS Bitesize webinars.”
This year’s OFS takes place on 11 June 2017.
