Farms across the UK will be opening their gates to the public and hosting open days on Sunday 11 June to showcase what is involved in farming and the impact it has on people's lives.
The event is part of Linking Environment and Farming's Open Farm Sunday.
Event manager Annabel Shackleton saying it gives the public the 'rare opportunity to see farming in real life.'
"Modern farming is incredibly diverse and impacts on all of us, from the clothes we wear to the medicines we take and the food we eat."
The first Open Farm Sunday took place in 2006 and since then over 1.8 million people have attended farms from Cornwall to Orkney.
Just one of the farms involved, Lower Treginnis farm said it is great to be hosting the event.
"Last year was a great success, with over 500 people visiting, and we're hoping for good weather again and a great turnout," said Huw Thomas.
Organisers say this year, farms all over the country are again invited to take place - demonstrating the everyday work farmers do including harvesting food, and showing the latest technology they use for sustainability.
'Misunderstood industry'
Dan Jones, farm manager at Lower Treginnis Farm told the Western Telegraph: "It's so beneficial for children to experience a day on the farm, and free events like this enable families who may have never been on a farm before to give it a go.
The mostly free events will offer a range of activities from tractor trailer rides, farm walks and bug hunts, to feeding lambs, sheep shearing and milking demonstrations.
The technology and science behind farming and food production will also be a focus; providing visitors with a fascinating insight into the world of farming.
LEAF said: "This so often misunderstood industry has a vital role in not only producing safe nutritious food, but also using the latest science and technology to farm sustainably – that means increasing production whilst managing the environment for wildlife and enhancing our natural resources for generations to come."
Writing for the Yorkshire Post, dairy farmer Eddie Andrew said he would encourage more farmers in Yorkshire to host the event.
"The positive feedback we get from visitors on the day is so rewarding. We love to show how we farm, share the truth about farming, and let people see, hear, touch, smell and have a go at many things, like growing grass and planting a pasture.
"It is a fabulous opportunity for people anywhere to visit their local farm."
