There’s fun to be had down on the farm this weekend.

The farming industry’s national open day, Open Farm Sunday, gives everyone the chance to discover the world of farming, how it affects our lives and find out about the story behind our food.

Each year, dozens of farms across Kent open their gates for free, giving people the chance to sample some rural life, meet the animals and learn more in a family-friendly way.

Some of those joining Open Farm Sunday, which is on June 11, are:
