Agri Aware has announced details of its Open Farm event for 2025, coming to two counties in June, one on Saturday, June 14 and another on Sunday, June 15.

Open Farm is Agri Aware’s flagship event in educating the general public on Irish agriculture and food production by opening up the gates of family-run Irish farms.

This free immersive farming experience allows visitors of all ages and backgrounds to connect with the land, animals, and producers who play a vital role in the farm-to-fork process.

Open Farm is returning to Co. Kildare on Saturday 14 on Joe and Kevin Doran’s dairy farm in Donadea.

The Dorans milk a herd of pedigree Holstein Friesian cows and are liquid milk suppliers – which provides the opportunity to showcase consumers exactly where the milk they purchase and consume in the supermarket originates from.

The second Open Farm event is taking place for the first time in Co. Galway on the farm of Aonghusa Fahy and family in Ardrahan on Sunday 15.

Aonghusa operates a suckler-to-beef enterprise, bringing all cattle to finish on a grass-based system, he is a top example of a farmer producing top-quality livestock whilst implementing technology and best practices.
