Once again, Lopemede Farm, located just outside Thame on the road to Long Crendon, is opening its gates to the public for the much-anticipated Open Farm Sunday.
This popular annual event offers a fantastic opportunity for families, residents and visitors to experience life on a working farm, learn more about British farming, and enjoy a brilliant day out in the Oxfordshire countryside.
There will be plenty to keep everyone entertained throughout the day, including tractor rides, guided tours, and a range of children's activities designed to be both fun and educational. Visitors can get up close to the farm environment and discover more about where food comes from and the work that goes into producing it.
Alongside the activities, guests can browse a vibrant artisan market featuring local producers and handmade goods. Food lovers will also be in for a treat, with a delicious selection of food and drink available throughout the day.
Expect outstanding local produce, including Lopemede's own Wagyu beef, as well as freshly brewed coffee, homemade cakes, refreshing beer and cider, and plenty more to enjoy.
Open Farm Sunday promises another memorable day at Lopemede Farm, celebrating farming, food and community right on Thame's doorstep.
Can you help on the day?
This is the second Open Farm event at Lopemede Farm following the success last year, which generated a footfall of roughly 3750 people. It requires an enormous amount of planning and although Eddie Rixon (the farmer at Lopemede) is doing a tremendous job, he is really struggling to get enough parking attendees for the day.
If the requirement for volunteers is met, there will be a rotation in place (9:30-12:30 & 12:30-circa 3:30 pm finish) so you can get some time to enjoy the day and take in the many wonderful displays and stands. As a way of saying thanks Eddie will issue you a ticket in the morning for free lunch and a drink from his delicious Wagyu Beef stand
