Broom House Farm

Open Farm Sunday
2023-06-11
Thank you so much for visiting us for Open Farm Sunday.
Have you ever wondered about the story of beef or lamb from field to fork, or how we farm organically in the North East of England? If so, then this is the event for you! You’ll get the chance to visit parts of the farm that are normally inaccessible and ask lots of questions about organic livestock farming!
Open Farm Sunday at Broom House Farm was on Sunday 11th June 2023
No tickets are required, we’ll ask for a £2 cash donation per head on the gate for our 2023 charity. This will also give you an entry into our raffle to win a Forest Adventure family day pass. Please remember to bring cash as donations will be at the gate and we have no mobile card machine there.
